We absolutely loved our stay! Antonio and Cristina's place is the perfect spot to explore Florence. The house itself was great for our group of 5 adults...tons of space, timeless furnishings, great art, great terrace, comfy beds, newly remodeled bathrooms, wifi...no complaints about anything.
Antonio and Cristina (and their daughter) were amazing and thoughtful hosts. They even helped us get tickets to the Calcio Storico finale (a must see if you happen to be in Florence when a historical soccer match is on), which we never would have been able to secure on our own.
The area is more residential and less touristy, which we loved. It's a quiet little spot, but just steps away from great restaurants and a 15 minute or so walk to the busier part of Florence.
My fav gelato place of all that we tried in Italy was right around the corner. We tried to go to the restaurant up the hill that Cristina recommended for dinner (it looked amazing), but were not able to because it was totally packed (we tried unsuccessfully to walk in without a reservation the first night, made a reservation for the second night, but didn't make it back in time, and tried unsuccessfully to walk in without a res the third night). They get busy and don't answer the phone, so I'd suggest walking up there to make a reservation for a future night. We ended up eating at Gecko right across the street (no reservation needed)...amazing burgers which were a nice change from the Italian food we mostly ate (it looked dead from our street, but they have a great patio out front). We also ate at Trattoria Pizzeria up the hill (no res needed) and had amazing, inexpensive food...it didn't look so appealing at first, but they also have a patio off to the side that is kind of hidden. We also ate at another restaurant next to the gelato place that had techno music blaring from it (no res needed)...they also had a great, surprise outdoor eating area in the back and great food (loved the steak salad and ravioli with butter and sage). We also got great sandwiches at Panini E Vini (recommended by Cristina).
One of the other reviewers mentioned the lack of a clothes dryer. This seems to be the norm in Italy...we stayed in 3 AirBnBs and only one had a combo washer/dryer that took forever to dry. The laundry area is nice and hot though and clothes dry fast on the line, so it wasn't an issue.
We went on a bike tour around Florence and to a nearby winery one day (which was quite the adventure and a highlight of the trip), we went on a guided day tour to a winery in Montalcino and Bagno Vignoni (natural hot springs) one day, and explored Florence/went to Calcio Storico the third.
All in all, this place is amazing and Florence is amazing! Don't hesitate to book!
