Our stay at Antonella's apartment was better than we could have ever hoped. It is situated perfectly -- 15-20 minute walk to everything you might need to see while in Firenze, but far enough removed from the major tourist areas that you will feel a bit like a local. This is definitely the place to be in Firenze, as the major tourist areas become extremely crowded and noisy, and from speaking with some locals, there are no Italians living in that section of the city, only tourists. The apartment was clean and well maintained, with a great kitchen and everything supplied should you need to cook (which we did often, as we stayed for 1 month). It was very quiet in the apartment as it faces a courtyard, which was nice for sleeping in and relaxing as in some areas the motorbikes and cars can get quite loud. Antonella was always quick to respond and offer solutions to any questions, and check-in/check-out was very easy as well. The bed was a bit uncomfortable as it's thin, however it was not a big issue. Overall I would absolutely recommend this place for an authentic trip to Firenze, and I'll be sure to stay here when I return to the city.
