We had an enjoyable stay at Samantha's apartment, due largely to the outstanding hosting by Giampiero who met us to check us in, checked on us during our stay, and quickly took care of a couple small issues we had at the apartment. The location can not be beat, everything is walkable. A couple of late-night restaurant/bars under the apartment create a bit of noise until pretty late. Comfortable beds and large spaces, plenty big enough for 2 couples. Full kitchen set up, but you'll need to supply basic pantry items other than salt, sugar, and coffee. Overall a very nice place to home base for a few days in Florence.
