We were doing a friends and family visit to a kid studying in Florence and chose this apartment mostly for its proximity to our kid's place, but ended up being very happy to be in the Oltrarno neighborhood. It's a small walk to the Uffizi (15 mins along the river) but it was nice to be out of the tourist throngs at night and the Frediano area has some of the best restaurants and cafe/tea shops in Florence without as many tourists. The apartment is simply but efficiently furnished with 4 bedrooms and small loft with a daybed above the main. The floors are terracotta brick, there is a cute deck and a small, but well-appointed kitchen with dishwasher, washing mashing and coffee machine and two clean, good-sized bathrooms. Marco and Lorenzo live right nearby and are friendly and helpful, but unobtrusive. For families or small groups the apartment is a great base to explore Florence, especially if you want to be a bit outside the heavy tourist zone.
