Sharika's sister Sandy met us at the apartment. It took us 5 mins to walk from the Firenze (Florence) Santa Maria Novella (SMN) Railway station to the apartment. First impression - HUGE! Big living room/kitchen/family room. Big bedroom and bathroom. Rooms have high ceiling. Well equipped kitchen. Dish washer/ washing machine for dirty clothing, plenty of pegs for drying, iron, hair-dryer. Very central position. Close to a lot of places of interests and withing walking distances. During peak season emergency vehicle sirens can be intruding. Our apartment was located on the 1st floor.
