The apartment is on the top floor, bright and high-ceilinged with a wonderful balcony. It's just a few blocks from the center of town, with easy walking access to anywhere you want to go.
Stefania met me when I arrived, showed me the way to the nearest grocery store, had books and maps about Florence (in multiple languages!) and fruit and breakfast makings. She showed me how to work all the necessary appliances, and when it got hot, she came over to install the air-conditioner in the kitchen. She even loaned a yoga mat to do exercises! When I left she met me at the station and showed me where the bus-stop for my bus was.
