I highly recommend staying at Alessia’s place. In my opinion it’s one of the best areas in Florence. Still close to everything, but calm and not in the middle of the tourist frenzy. St Ambrogio Market around the corner. The apartment is very spacious. And very clean and fresh. Has all you need. The stairs to the apartment are steep, but I had two very heavy bags and I managed to get them up on my own as a reference. Very comfortable and nice with a terrace. Alessia is super responsive. Highly recommend! I would stay here again.
