Federica and Jacopo were fabulous hosts. The appartment was in perfect condition and everything was supplied. Federica's mother met us at the door, because we were taking a later train than expected and she was delightfully thorough showing us how to operate the washer and other machines in the apartment. The view from the large balcony/patio is wonderful: we were able to see the Duomo and Campanile, but also the roofs of local houses. We were 2 blocks from San Marco (filled with Fra Angelico frescos in the monks' cells) and San Lorenzo (with its Medici Library, 6 blocks from the train station, and about 8 blocks from the Duomo. The nearby restaurants were wonderful and the Mercato Centrale was unbelievable, filled with every kind of wine, cheese, salami, fresh fruits and vegetable. It was only 4 blocks away. Grazie mille to Federica and Jacopo and their new baby.
