Michele's apartment is in a fantastic area of Florence away from the busy historic centre. But it is close enough to walk everywhere. We preferred eating at restaurants in the neighbourhood too. The quality was better and prices less of a tourist trap. The apartment has everything that you need for your stay in Florence. Michele was easy to communicate with. Since he is a local tour guide we had arranged for him to give us a quick tour of the historic centre. Highly recommend Michele's apartment to stay.
