Katerina is a fantastic host! She made us feel really welcome in her apartment and was alway on hand to answer questions or give us advice. The apartment is lovely, with a spacious room and well equipped kitchen. The bus stop is just a few minutes walk away. The buses can take from 15-30 minutes to get to the centre of Florence depending on traffic. We did find the buses a little unreliable, however, we wouldn't hesitate to go back to Katerina's apartment after the fantastic experience we had there!
