If you're looking for a solid little place in a location out of the way of areas most trafficked by tourists at an affordable price, this is it. The flat is perfectly situated in Oltrarno comfortably in walking distance of all the sites and some very decent places to eat. For those who like to run or walk, the apartment is about a kilometer and a half to the east of the run/bike path along the Arno (on the north side). I started most days running there - amazing.
The flat has all the basics - comfy bed, well-equipped kitchen, nice bathroom and wi-fi connection. Alessandro and Natasha couldn't have been nicer or more helpful; it was like showing up and meeting up with friends. Florence is a phenomenal city and this flat is a great home base for exploring its beauty. We spent a week there and reluctantly left wishing we had more time.
