Barbara’s place is very spacious and looks exactly like the photos. My family and I enjoyed our time there. The location was fine for us, and we liked the restaurants and outdoor bars that were very nearby. Our kids also enjoyed the park that was down the street! We did have to take taxis every day to get to the center of Florence. It’s walkable, maybe 30 mins, but in the July heat and with two small children, we opted for convenience over cost. A taxi one way was about 20 euro. Another thing to note was that there was only one working air conditioner and it was in a bedroom. It was not easy to figure out how to work, and it barely cooled that one room. We were there during a very hot couple of days, and booked it in the first place based largely on having air conditioning.
