The last two nights of our trip were spent in Florence. We chose St's place, and were very pleased. Its on the second floor, but there is a lift to assist w/luggage, so no worries. The apt was just as described, with plenty of room for our family of five so each of us had a little space to ourselves. Plus having three bathrooms was a wonderful aspect for us. We were met on time and given a thorough walk-through of the place, but we were provided taxi numbers which we needed for an early morning departure to the airport. Via Panzani is a bustling street just a block or so from the Duomo, so you're right in the middle of things. There are plenty of bakeries and supermarkets just around the corner, and shopping and the sights-to-see are all within easy walking distance. We especially enjoyed walking along the river at night. And should you decide to take the train anywhere, you're only a 10 min walk from the station.
