We had a wonderful experience in Florence that was made even better by the nice apartment we were able to rent for three nights through airbnb. The location was perfect, just a short walk to most of the major sites. The neighborhood was busy, safe and friendly with many cafes, groceries, and bakeries steps from the apartment. The apartment itself was large, clean, and well apportioned. Our host was friendly and helpful and even provided a bottle of wine, fruit, water, and basic necessities. This goes way above normal in our experience. We highly recommend this apartment and this host.
