The apartment couldn't be in a better location...right behind the palazzo Vecchio. It has three bedrooms (don't forget earplugs for the front two rooms - the back bedroom is quiet), and mosquito repellent in the Spring. Three full bathrooms. For us, spoiled Americans, all it would lack is a clothes dryer but our hanged wash dried up well overnight.
The neighborhood is very safe and the place is clean and well equipped. Just next to the building there's a nice trattoria (Buzzino, owned by friendly Alessandro)...eat to your heart's content with no worrying about calories: the 3 flights of stairs to the apartment will burn them. Just around the corner is the popular Antico Vinaio for a tasty 5-Euro san (go early to avoid long lines).
We travel quite a bit and for us, the best part was Alessandra, the owner: the most pleasant, accommodating, helpful owner we have encountered - a real GEM of a person (speaks excellent English).
This was our seventh stay in Florence (first at Char;lotte Maison) and we will make sure to book it for our next time. We highly recommend it - Great Value!!!
