This was a great apartment in a local area. Daniel was not there when we arrived however her neighbor Tina checked us in and was very helpful. The apartment is quite large with plenty of space for the two of us and our 8 month old baby. It's as charming as it looks in the pictures. The shower was the open style (no definitive shower space, but drain in center of bathroom floor) however I did not think it was particularly small as others have said. The kitchen was totally functional with plenty of dishes, cookware, etc. The washing machine was nice to have as well. The apartment is up a few flights of steps without an elevator (not a problem for us, however may be for some with mobility difficulties).

The neighborhood was a real strength. You definitely had the sense you were in a local area of Florence. I was debating on staying here or someplace more central, and WOW am I glad I didn't stay central. It was quite busy with tourists and I even became a bit annoyed at all the tourists even being one myself. It was so nice to get back to the apartment and loose the crowds. And still, everything is a quick, easy walk away. There are some great restaurants just down the street, including Trattoria dell'Orto and Il Guscio (literally steps away). Also, there is an amazing pizza place down the same street with two brothers making great Naples style pizza. All and all a great experience and would do it again in a second.
