I just spent two months at Sophie's place and it was wonderful. The large apartment had everything anyone would need from Wireless internet to a comfortable pull out couch for guests. The location was ideal as it was not in the center with all the noise and tourists, but still was within an easy 15 minute walk of the major attractions. There were plenty of restaurants in the area and shops if you wanted to do your own cooking. It was always nice to walk across the Arno each afternoon heading back to the apartment as you leave the tourists behind and head into a true Florentine neighborhood. It was very peaceful, the people were very friendly and helpful and the nights were very quiet. Sophie and Rodolpho were very attentive and always checked to make sure everything was going smoothly. I certainly would go back again.
