Sharika's apartment was perfect for us. We trained into Firenze to the Maria Novella train station and it was no more than a 5 minute walk to the apartment. We were in Firenze on some hot days and the A/C cooled it right down upon our return at the end of the day. There's a Conad supermarket a few blocks away and of course the museums, shops, and restaurants are also within easy walking distance. There was no waiting on our part upon arrival and checking out was easy. We recommend this location.
