This is a great location to be away from some of the more intense tourist crowds, but still walking distance to major sites. (It's about 5 minutes to Palazzo Pitti and Santo Spirito, and about 20 minutes to the Duomo.) The neighborhood has tons of great restaurants, shops and galleries.
The apartment was very spacious. (There's even a small walk-in closet.) We did lots of laundry in the small machine, which was great.
One thing to note: The stairs to the apartment are incredibly steep. It's only about 1.5 flights, so not terrible, but if you have mobility issues or a lot of luggage, it could be a struggle.
