Massimo's place is definitely convenient to a lot of Florence's major attractions, such as the David in the Academia, and probably about a 10 to 15 minute walk from the Duomo. I would caution travellers who can't do stairs, there is no elevator in this building. While the unit is on the second floor is actually the third floor and you have to go up about 4 flights of stairs, they are steep, and it can be extremely difficult if you have a lot, or heavy luggage. The directions to get into the unit are extremely organised, making it very easy for you to find the unit and get situated, especially if you have a car. Massimo leaves a great book with maps and all kinds of hints and tips to get around Florence and enjoy your stay. The bathroom is very small, so much so, that it's difficult to sit straight on the toilet because your knees end up in the shower. The shower is small, but not on like those you find in European homes. For the most part, if you're looking for a place to stay in Florence that it's convenient to the major sights this is a good reasonable choice. It is quirky, but has some really cool architectural features all in all we enjoyed our stay.
