It was quite convenient to drive to the apartment as it was located out of ZTL and Luciano kindly let us use a free parking space (about 5 minute drive away).
Luciano was very helpful in explaining everything - there were supermarket, bakery, a few good dining places nearby. It took us about 20-30 minutes to walk to Uffizi, but we enjoyed the river-side view along the way. Alternatively, a couple of buses stop nearby and took around 10 minutes to downtown.
The apartment was comfortable with a well stuffed kitchen including water, wine, snacks, coffee, etc. There was also a great rooftop terrace to enjoy the view of Firenze.
Overall, we have really enjoyed our time staying here and would definitely recommend to any friend going to Firenze!
