We were travelling as a couple but this would have been great for a family as well. The view is amazing and it is lovely to sit on the balcony in the evenings. There is excellent air conditioning in both the main living room and the larger of the two bedrooms. The neighborhood is great -- it's a very pleasant residential neighborhood with an amazing pasticceria and coffee shop right downstairs and other coffee places and other interesting shops and restaurants nearby. It was nice to be free from the tourist bustle of the center of Florence but fairly easy to get in by bus. We found the quickest way was to use the bus stop on Via dei Mille where we only had to wait a few minutes to get a bus to Piazza San Marco -- then you can walk to many places from there or take further buses. But some buses will get you further south, e.g. the 11 goes to the Palazzo Pitti and is good for getting to the Uffizi. We walked in once, but it's not a very interesting walk. Don't miss exploring the neighborhood itself though -- there's another river nearby, the Mugnone, which it is nice to visit and very picturesque. It's also very easy to get to Fiesole by bus and it's quite near one of the less visited but amazing places in Florence, the Cenacolo of Andrea del Sarto in San Salvi. Daniela and Roberto could not have been kinder or more responsive as hosts. They were extremely flexible, letting us both check in early and check out late, and they responded immediately when we had concerns -- e.g. one of the air conditioners didn't work and they came round that evening to look at it (bringing a fan) and then arranged to have it fixed right away. The kitchen is small (it's just a little nook off the main living/dining area) but serviceable and has most things you need (no microwave, and you can't use the electric kettle if you have the air conditioners on). Although there's no washing machine we found it very easy to get laundry done at the laundry downstairs, and there's also a drying rack on the balcony so it's easy to wash things by hand. It was a lovely apartment to hang out in, great neighborhood, friendly and helpful hosts. We strongly recommend it.
