We enjoyed our stay at Clara's & Daniele's place. Communication beforehand with Clara was easy, she also gave good information about the neighbourhood and how to get around. Saying that the place is "2 steps away" from the city centre is a bit exaggerated. It's 20 minutes by foot to the Ponte Vecchio and 15 minutes to Palazzo Pitti. The walk is pleasant though and the neighbourhood is ok, with good value for money restaurants and bars. The left bank of the river is definitely a good area to sleep and to discover Firenze from there. The room (with AC) and bathroom were nice and clean.
