Karin's place exceeded my expectations and is an amazing deal. It's a large apartment that could easily accomdate a family of four. If you can live without air conditioning (there are fans) then the apartment has all other ameninities you may need. We loved spending time out on the balcony in the evenings drinking wine and relaxing after long days of walking around Florence. While it's not right next to the major sights, the apartment is in a really cool neighborhood with less touristy restaurants and shops. And all the sights are still a 10-25 min walk away. I definitely recommend this place of you want an authentic Florentine experience!
