We spent four wonderful nights in Simona's gorgeous apartment. For the two of us it was absolutely perfect. The rooms are spacious, immaculate and beautifully decorated. It's located minutes from the heart of the historical center and incredible designer shopping that will max out your credit card (which it did). Since it is close to the epicenter of activity, there was some occasional street noise late at night but for the most it was very quite and peaceful. There are no real negatives but in the bedroom there's only a clothes rack with hangers to store clothing. A dresser or shelves would have been nice but not essential. Perhaps this was a design decision. The bed was super comfortable as was the warmth of the heating system. There are two flights of stairs from the street level which were no problem even with suitcases. We arrived by car and took advantage of the parking garage suggested by the owner. Super convenient being about 50 yards from the front door. There's no doubt that we will return in future since we live just a couple hours drive from Florence.
