Azadeh was waiting for us upon arrival and met us outside the apartment building, which is located within a block or two of the Duomo and within a few blocks (the other direction) from Accademia and the David. (The apartment is conveniently located in a touristy area, however, it's an easy walk to other tourist attractions and to other, less touristy/crowded parts of town if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle.) She showed us how to get into the building and took us up to the apartment, which was exactly as the pictures showed; it's a studio, but it has more than enough room for a place to sleep at night (and nap during the afternoon). She showed us around the studio and explained everything; she also provided us cold bottled water (very welcomed on the hot, summer day). We were provided with a map and a list of recommended places (e.g., sit-down restaurants, "quick" eateries, markets, and attractions), which was very helpful. We chose most of our places to eat from the list, and none of them disappointed! Overall, we were more than pleased with the host and the apartment, and we would highly recommend it!
