Michele's apartment was ideal for my needs, great for a low budget place to stay. Michele is a charming and helpful host. The area is perfect for being outside the throng of other tourists, with a more local, gentle feel to the surroundings. Yet it's easy enough, within 10 mins stroll or so, from all the things that people come to Florence for. There are plenty of enjoyable local restaurants/ supermarkets. So, all is very easy.
The apartment itself is small, but designed to use that small space well. It has all facilities and storage space to make it all straightforward and comfortable. It is not noisy.
At first, the proximity of the shower to the toilet may leave you a little concerned. But this is really all quite manageable.
It is probably most suited to the single traveller or a couple who don't need to hide away from each other too much!
