I would give this accommodation 6 stars (out of 5) for location as it was central and near the heart of Florence, 2 blocks from Duomo, with good restaurants and a well-stocked and open "supermarket" all within 2 blocks. I don't care about the 4-flight walk up (72 steps). This apartment has the best views and nice balcony for having wine at night or letting washed laundry dry on the rack by sun from dawn till dusk. Very spacious and clean with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and reliable WiFi for my wife, 2 college kids and myself. If I come to Florence again, THIS is where I am staying.
