Tina and Uma's apartment is perfectly placed between the main station (Santa Maria Novella) and the touristy Centro Storico, but in a somewhat more residential area, meaning less crowds, and better opportunities for finding restaurants that aren't overpriced tourist traps.
We were greeted by Tina upon our arrival, who gave us a small introduction to the place. Be aware, that it is a very old building, and as such it has it's quirks, which we were duly warned of. However, following Tina's instructions, these never caused us any issues. The apartment was cozy and clean, the kitchen well equipped, and carefully labelled for easy orientation.
Tina and Uma are the perfect hosts; punctual, quick communication and very friendly. They went above and beyond leaving us cantucci from a popular bakery, along with a small bottle of prosecco to enjoy amongst other things. All in all we highly recommend a stay at Tina and Uma's place.
