Barbara is an excellent host, answers all your questions very quickly and she is very friendly. The apartment is completely renovated, with all utensils, washing machine, full bathroom, good shower. the high point is the location of the apartment, which is located in the block behind Santa Maria novella station (and even then you can't hear absolutely anything from inside the apartment) and at most 15 minutes walk from the main attractions. If i went back to Florence i would stay there again.
