Lorenzo was very helpful with the arrangements and meeting us at the apartment after a long but doable walk from the train station. There were some snacks there for us. This apartment is in a perfect location for exploring Florence, in the Santa Croce area. It is central without being noisy since the first floor apartment is at the back of the building .Good restaurants nearby in Santa Croce piazza. Easy to walk across the river to do the climb to piazza Michelangelo and on to San Miniato. Very close to Uffizi and palazzo Vecchio. Breakfast across the street, ice cream nearby. Toward town in Via de Neri you can find a shop with eggs, snacks, etc. the apartment was easy to cook in ( we did breakfasts) and we did a load of laundry. There is a drying rack in the closet. When visiting Florence be sure to note the closing hours since some like the Palazzo Vecchio are open after other things close. Enjoy!
