We took a bus from the train station to the apartment, which was fast. It was a bit difficult to find the building so make sure you study the map before arrival. Gisella met us outside the apartment and she explained everything about the apartment to us which was nice! She explained how to use the washing machine and showed us the tool we could use for drying the clothes.

The apartment is spacious. The shower area is small but enough. Friendly reminder, you may want to bring your own shampoo and conditioner if traveler packs of shower shampoo are not enough for you. There are mosquitoes, my hand was bitten at night and i suffered an allergic reaction and my whole hand was swollen for 4 days. But i guess it was just me. Gisella came by to drop down a refilled "insetticida elettrico" for us shortly after we asked for it, which was very nice!

The building is not very close to the centre of Florence but the walking distance is fine. It makes us feel blended with locals. You will walk past a lot of nice little shops on the way.Taking bus to train station is also convenient!
