If you stay anywhere else in Florence, you’ve mad a mistake. Carlo is the most kind and gracious host with the most lovely apartment in what I think is probably the most well balanced area (close to tourist attractions but somehow also on a street that feels more local) in all of Florence. This is the perfect place for a vacation spot. There is a local bar just down the street, a lovely tabacchi/bar perfect for morning breakfast and cappuccino, and multiple restaurants in the vicinity that are well worth trying (although in Florence you are never more than 20 minutes walk from anywhere...). Our stay in Firenze would have been less enjoyable if we stayed anywhere else! Stop searching for a place and pick this one!
