If traveling without a car this place is really wonderful. The location was great, the apartment was quite comfortable and the rooms were very tasteful. I thought the layout of the property was perfect and the hosts had several nice touches like having some water available to drink and an extra set of keys.
READ IF ARRIVING WITH A CAR
However, we drove to Firenze and when booking places to stay we were very careful about selecting places with parking listed as an amenity; which included this listing. We were told we could find parking for free in Piazza della citta by the host. However, soon after we found parking some Police women came by and told us that we needed a parking permit, which was for residents only, and that our car would be towed if we remained parked there. The host only commented that they had parked there previously without issue. We tried calling nearby parking garages, but they required a reservation and were full, so we were forced to stay in a parking space with no daily rate at a huge cost!
This was very disappointing, because the listing is clearly misleading. Had we known we needed to pay a fee to park we could have made a reservation at significant savings or chose to book another listing.
Note that if you are arriving by car, this area is in a ZTL area and you will NOT be able to drive directly to the apartment. It's not far and we did fine with schlepping our bags, but people who may have mobility challenges might like to know.
