If you are coming to Firenze to explore Toscana, or for the conference or for the short term research visit as I did and Federica's apartment is available - JUST TAKE it! The balance of price and value is just perfect, there are legendary ice cream and pastry places around, Santa Croce, Ponte Vecchio and JUST EVERYTHING. Nothing will take you more than 15 min to walk and if you wanna explore more in Toscana, then there is the busstop 1,5 min away from your door!
Federica was away and I met her friend instead! But they were just both very careful and sending messages asking how am doing and if everything is fine .
Federica, hope to see you soon in Firenze in person and stay in your apartment :) !
