I would highly recommend staying at apartment Toscanella. Simone was very friendly and met us outside the apartment in the street. He was helpful and showed us around the room and how to use things. Communication through AirBnB was good also. He kindly gave us a bottle of red wine, and a platter of fruit.

The location was ideal, in the Oltrano part of Florence, so we got to see the less touristy side of the city. However, the main tourist attractions are scarcely a 5 minute walk across the river via the Ponte Vecchio bridge, so we could see the museums and wonderful architecture of Florence too. There is a very nice gelato shop just downstairs that is surprisingly cheap, and there is a restaurant and bar very close.

Everything in the apartment worked well, and we had no difficulties using the kitchen, bathroom, lounge or bedroom.

I would recommend staying in Simone's apartment in Florence.
