We stayed in Monica's apartment for two nights in late June. The location was excellent! As shown in the photographs, the Duomo is right outside the living room window - what a magnificent view that was! All the major attractions in Florence (Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi, Piazza Signori etc.) was within walking distance from the apartment. There is a good breakfast bar right across the street, and many good lunch and dinner restaurants in the neighborhood. The flat looked just like in the pictures. It was quite simple, but clean and well kept, and with a common balcony area right next to the apartment (again overlooking the Duomo). I guess it could be a bit on the small side for 3-4 people, especially if you are staying for a long time, but we found both the apartment and the location perfect for us.
