I stayed at Stefanies place for a long enough to give you this review, the location is perfect, the host is perfect, the communication was awesome, i felt like home, the place was arranged with all things you need to start your day, coffe maker and kettle, also you have hypermarkets 3 mins away ( pam local, carrefour and conad ) google maps, really ideal place if you want to stay close to everything and stay as locals, also you are opposite of (Mercato Centrale) it is a fruits and vegetables market from the morning till afternoon and in the second floor you have a many restaurants and cafes under one roof that stays open till 12:00 am (they host football match sometimes with big screens), 7 mins to the train station, also 5 mins to the closest bus station, all on foot i mean, and the apartment is located in the first floor 17 steps as they said, some what it is fairly comfortable, and their is automatic light as it gets dark inside the stairway, the door has locks sealed like a bank vault :) so i guess you are safe enough, the apartment has a soundproof windows, the neighborhood is very safe and has people around 24/7 so if you are looking for something in between the center and train station that has all amenities and comfort you have at home this is it. Also smart tv that has excellent options for online streaming, wifi and it is curved ;)
I will be happy to give an recommendations to other people that will visit florance.
Moreover the you can ask the host for any thing you think of to be there before you arrive she will definitely find a way to make it happen.
