Excellent apartment with a very thoughtful and attentive host. The location gives you the feel of being in a real Italian neighborhood, rather than a touristy hotel district, while still being within walking distance of the major sights. Indeed the Pitti Palace, Boboli Gardens (our favorite), and the Brancacci Chapel (do not miss this with its famous frescos) are very close by.
I was very happy with my choice and loved getting to know the neighborhood. There is a great place to have a glass of wine right across the street, there are fun artisan's boutiques about, and there are several good restaurants within a very short distance. Also, there's a supermarket just on the next block, and our host kindly loaned us a discount card, and the "tabac" nearby will sell you bus tickets as well as coffee, tobacco, hard alcohol, magazines, pastries, etc.. So when you're tired after walking all over Florence and touring museums, you can find whatever you need right by the apt.
