Tarcisio was a great host. He met us earlier than the usual check in time and helped us find parking. The apartment is away from the hustle and bustle of central Florence: very nice to have a bit of peace and quiet away from other tourists but makes for a bit more walking to/from the city center. It's very near the river however, which makes for a nice walk. If you're driving, it's an added bonus to have relatively easy parking (you won't need-not want-to drive during your time visiting Florence).
The apartment was clean and spacious and the pizza shop next door was convenient for water, beer, etc.
We loved getting seafood at a local restaurant the opposite direction from the city center-but if you don't speak Italian, bring a good guidebook/phrasebook as you'll find fewer English-speakers in this area: a real plus for us as we got to dine with locals.
Highly recommended-especially if you're driving into town.
