We stayed at John and Christine's lovely apartment for a month and it was perfect for us.
The pictures accurately describe the apartment and it is even roomier and nicer. We especially enjoyed the beautiful private garden for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening, the air conditioning (it was quite warm while we were there), and the washer. It is on a quiet street with many good restaurants nearby as well as grocery stores, fruit and vegetable markets. We could also get take out which was great if we wanted to stay home for dinner. We really liked the location in the Oltrarno since it was away from the very busy center of Florence but only a short walk there. We could walk everywhere. John is a perfect host, always available and so nice to deal with. I would highly recommend John's apartment for either a short or long stay.
