I stayed at Sarah's place for a month. Sarah's place is exactly what you see. The neighborhood is great. If you are looking to be a little bit away from the tourist mayhem, and feel more like a local, but close to everything, this is a great apartment. It's very good for a long-term stay.
It was sweltering hot, and I was lucky enough to have a place with two air conditioners and laundry. This is not common in many apartments.
The only caveat is that Florence is full of mosquitoes. Sarah can offer some helpful tips as well as some mosquito repelling tools.
Sarah was quick and responsive with the few minor issue that came up, and her mother was helpful at check-in.
Thank you Sarah!
