That was the best decision we could take about housing in Florence. Perfect for a long stay (we spent one week here). Actually, this garden with a view was making us stay in till afternoon at least (you share the garden with a nice italian grandma and a turtle). A 30-min walk to the touristic center is also very nice (and coming back up the hill is a healthy thing after all that toscanian food!). There are buses, but soon we found them useless. Take benefits from staying outside the touristic area — for example, all the restaurants here are great (magic pizza at Pizzeria Antica Porta!). The stylish room is an elegant micro-appartement with your own kitchen and bathroom (and a garden two meters away from your bed). Cristiana was very helpful, don't hesitate to ask her if you miss something.
All in all — pure chill! We didn't want to leave. Would absolutely love to come back.
