I had a great stay at Francescos place. He and his wife are great, warmhearted and welcoming hosts! (They were very patient with me practicing my rudimentary Italian - I am very grateful for that.)
The place has a nice, cosy room, tastefully decorated and with a private bathroom. The house is situated in one of the nicest areas of Florence. It took me 15 minutes to walk there from Firenze SMN train station. It's an easy walk to get to the city center. And you'll aways find great dinner options and nice bars just around the corner.
In short: Great hosts, lovely area. Hope to see you guys again!
