I would recommend staying at Sofia’s place! Sofia was very accommodating and helpful during our month-long stay. The space was perfect for us, and we would definitely return! The apartment is located at the top of a large hill, and the room is two flights of stairs up, so definitely be prepared to walk. Additionally, there was construction on the building almost every day that we were there, which made an otherwise quiet neighborhood rather loud in the mornings. However, the view is just gorgeous, and the area feels very safe for young, female travelers! We loved Florence and we are very glad to have stayed in this beautiful apartment :)
