Stefania and Maria were very gracious hosts. They met us at the apartment and Maria spent half an hour giving us useful tips for the city. (Maria knows her gelaterias!) The apartment is very cute and surprisingly spacious for how centrally located it is. The apartment is just a few minutes walk from anything in the historic part of Firenze and about 5-8 minutes walk from the supermarket. Opening the window and hearing the sounds of Firenze was one of my favorite parts of my visit.
