The apartment was just as described and very comfortable. Liana is a gracious host who went out of her way to welcome each of our group as we arrived, and to be sure the apt was cleaned early and ready for us in time.
The beds were quite comfortable, and the place was very clean. A/C worked well, which was important in the July heatwave. Be aware that the stairs are tough to navigate with heavy suitcases.
This apt is in a very quiet building in the walkable neighborhood of Santa Croce, maybe 15 min walk from the Duomo and also from the Accademia (Michaelangelo’s David). If you like staying in the middle of the action and crowds, this would not be the place for you. We felt it was the right distance from the action -- walkable distances and quiet neighborhood. It is also just around the corner from the beautiful old synagogue, which you can visit (along with the Jewish Museum upstairs, neither of which are air conditioned but they are still worth a visit). If you go, dress modestly or bring a scarf/wrap to cover shoulders & knees.
The apartment provides guidebooks and maps, a kitchen with plenty of dishes and a dishwasher, some coffee pods for the espresso maker as well as tea/instant coffee. Also there was some laundry detergent, which was very useful (and we used the washer/dryer a few times as it was just off the upstairs loft bedroom). Everything else you need to buy but there are mini-markets 3 min down the block.
We enjoyed our stay in Florence and Liana’s hospitality. We would definitely be willing to stay here again.
