We had a wonderful stay at this lovely apartment. Marina was quick to reply to emails, met us at the location and a good host. The place was very clean, comfortable and a great location! Just a few minutes outside of the busy tourist areas, yet an easy walk everywhere. We didn't have trouble with noise outside (as per other reviews), although the second floor of steps worked our quads- as long as you can get your luggage up and don't have mobility issues with stairs, it's no problem. Thanks for the great stay in Florence, we would stay here again!
