Ivana has a beautifully, recently renovated one bed room apartment off a very non descript street, via Scala. It's a short walk from the heart of historic Florence. And closer, there are a lot of nice, affordable restaurants on Borgo Ognissanti and Via Palazzuolo, which are great if you are too tired to make it back down to the historic center for dinner, after a long day of sightseeing. Ivana is a friendly, helpful hostess. Highly recommended.
