Staying in Florence at Agnese's apartment was a wonderful experience. The apartment is beautiful; large windows, spacious bedrooms, natural light throughout the apartment, and furnished beyond expectation. We were welcomed at the train station arriving from Rome, and driven with our luggage to the flat. It was perfect for the three of us staying there, and comfortably could fit 4. It is perfectly located - just a ten minute walk from the Duomo and all other major sites and museums. We were able to walk the entire city and make our way back to the apartment with ease. The apartment is located in the north of the city so you are away from the heavy touristy areas but still in the heart of the city. We were greeted with fresh fruit and wine, with a map and recommendations on restaurants and bars (all of which were fantastic) and then met at the end of our stay and driven back again to the train station. It was a great trip with the perfect apartment - I would highly recommend staying here if you are considering a vacation to Florence; it really made the trip. The service provided to us and the warm welcome made it feel like the perfect Italian home-away-from-home.
