Dan's place worked decently well for us on our 4-night stay in Florence. As mentioned by other reviewers, it's not located in the central tourist area so you need to plan about 20-30 minutes to get to the sites. The neighborhood is a calmer area with more locals, but there were bus routes that let us get around pretty easily as long as we planned ahead. There was a nice grocery store nearby that helped us make use of the kitchen. The apartment was well heated (December trip) and we appreciated use of the laundry (washer, dryer, detergent included). The apartment has clearly been decorated with a stylish eye, although we felt that some of the practical comforts had been overlooked. The ceiling in the bedroom area is very low in parts and my husband (6'1") hit his head multiple times.
