Mike's Place is fantastic! It's a quiet, comfortable, well appointed apartment just a few short corners away from the sights and sounds of Florence. The hospitality is second to none! We never felt like we lacked for anything. Our check-in (in person) was welcoming and pleasant. The neighborhood has a number of great food and shopping options, and many of the major sites are under 15 minutes. We didn't have to take bus or car once. Walking from the train station (with modest baggage) is very feasible, even for city novices.
We would absolutely stay at Mike's Place again!
