This is THE place to stay in Florence, and was the best place we stayed during our three week trip to Europe. Cristiana is a wonderful hostess - she spent 30 -45 minutes giving us tips on Florence (where to eat, what to see) even though she was overdue to go home to see her family. She takes great pride in her apartment, and it shows. It is very comfortable, and the location couldn't be any better. Just a wonderful experience in all ways.
