My friend and I stayed in Candida's apartment for 2 months, and it was perfect for us. It's actually 3 bedrooms, and very large with lots of natural light. Cleanliness and comfort was 100%. It has 1 full bathroom and another separate toilet which was useful. The washing machine and dishwasher were great too, and it was fine to dry laundry on the clothing rack.

The location is the best in Florence - next to Piazza SMN and its lovely church, super close to SMN station, extremely straightforward walk to Piazza Duomo (3 mins), Mercato Centrale and San Lorenzo market (5 mins), 10 minutes across the river to Santo Spirito, 15 minutes to Piazza Republica and 15-20 mins to Santa Croce. You are in the heart of Florence city and everything is convenient distance on foot. The only downside is it could get quite noisy at night, with ambulances and people on the streets late. However this is the case for all accommodation in Florence city (not just this apartment), and can't be avoided.

Candida was always prompt and extremely helpful anytime we needed to contact her. She went out of her way to help us, and kindly invited us to visit her farm in Pescia.

Only thing that was disappointing was the lack of a microwave because it said on airbnb there should be one - made it difficult for us to heat up leftovers etc. But if you are only staying for a short period and eating out then this may not bother you at all. The stove and oven meant that we could still cook anything we wanted!

I would definitely stay in Candida's apartment again in Florence!
