Loved Stefano's beautiful apartment - it was spacious, clean, homely and had everything we needed to enjoy an amazing few weeks in Florence. I was amazed how quiet it was, and waking up each morning to see the sun rising over the rooftops and the old Italian buildings was very special. The location was also a real winner, as you are a mere street or two back from the river Arno and a block or so from the incredible Ponte Vecchio. On top of this, the area is packed full of great restaurants and wine bars, and there are far fewer tourists than compared to the other side of the river. Plus, given Florence is such a walkable city, getting around is very easy; for instance, it's less than a 15 minute walk from the apartment to the main train station. A wonderful base to explore a very special city!
