Stefano's apartment is lovely. It's very big and spacious. It has a very well equipped kitchen for cooking at home. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. We stayed for 5 nights . The neighborhood is residential, with local shops and bar. There's a supermarket within a 10 minute walk. Old historic Florence is easily walkable, with Ponti Vecchio just a 15 - 20 minute walk.
Stefano was a great host, with helpful tips on where to go. He loves his city and keen to share information about it.
I wouldn't hesitate in staying again.
