Daniela & Massimo are lovely hosts. Their apartment is comfortably situated at Florence's city center. The walk to Santa Maria Novella is only 15 minutes and 20-minute further away is the centro storico (il Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Pitti). The other thing that I must say about their place is that during weekend nights, the noise from a bar nearby reached the bedroom. However, I was too exhausted with wandering around Florence so it was easy enough for me to ignore.
