I am in Florence almost every month so always on the look out for interesting places to stay. Clara and is a lovely host and her apartments are great. Wonderful location right on the edge of center at Porta Romana. You can find all you need nearby and then can walk all the way in to town in about 25min. There's an entrance to the Boboli gardens right at Porta Romana so you can even meander your way in to town through the grounds of Palazzo Pitti if you have time. Location is also great if you are a walker or runner, you can head up the tree lined boulevards for beautiful views of the city. All in all very good spot.
