We stayed 4 days in Florence and loved our home base at Shelby and Nicco's place. Location, location, location! Two blocks from the Ponte Vecchio. Two blocks from Piazza dei Signori. Despite being right in the middle of things, the street was quiet--quite amazing actually. All the sites are walkable. We arrived by train and arrived at the apartment about 20 minutes on foot (and dragging suitcases).

Shelby and Nicco were there to meet us. They were so warm and welcoming. They gave us the ins and outs of the apartment, suggestions for where to eat, buy groceries, etc., and even left us a bottle of wine. Two days later, they checked in to see if we were OK.

The apartment itself was comfortable and I'd recommend it. We'd definitely stay again! Thank you for everything, S and N!
