Firstly the view is insane. Lovely balcony view with all of Florence to gaze at. For me though the location was a winner. You're about 20 minutes walk from the city centre but are also on the right side to take a 4km walk up the hill to Fiesole (totally recommended). There are loads of little bars and cafes near by with the absolute stand out being Cucchietta (everyone staying at Daniele's place should eat here at least once. Lovely apartment, lovely hosts.
