We got to the apartment after dark, picked up key from the nice shopkeeper at ground level. Apt is actually on 5th floor if you count ground as first. Stairwell lights are on a timer, if they go out on your way up at night, stairwell will be pitch dark, make sure one of you is near the switch with the small circle (near the door at each floor--the other one rings the doorbell!) Location of apt is excellent, the Sant’Ambrogio market is only 3 blocks away, we liked it better than Mercato Centrale because it is a smaller, neighborhood market selling fresh vegetables, fresh meat, artisan salamis, proscuittos, breads, cheeses, fresh pasta, olives, along with lots of other miscellaneous things outdoors. Turn left after exiting the apt, make first left at corner, go up two blocks, turn right, and you will see Market. It closes at 2:00pm. There is also a Conad supermarket 6 mins walk directly across from the post office. Santa Croce piazza is 3-4 mins walk. Lots of benches, and often musicians are playing in the square. Amazing view of it’s bell tower from the bed in the room. Palazzo Vecchio piazza 6 mins walk, another 3-4 mins along the street connecting them and you are at the Duomo. Room is large and comfortable, two armchairs plus daybed, large desk which we used for laptops. Rug and daybed cushions in photo no longer there. Balcony is small—not wide enough to sit on a chair facing forwards, best used to stand and watch the interesting neighborhood activity from above the street! Never met Delio, only texted; he leaves his guests to get along by themselves, something we appreciated, being fairly independent. We virtually had apt completely to ourselves for 2 weeks. Only issue was that when we arrived kitchen was a mess—dirty dishes from previous guest were piled up in the sink and dishwasher because drain pipe was broken. Told us it would be repaired next day, 4 days later Delio texted us saying no one could get over, and if we didn’t go back so the plumber could get in, the repair would not be made…we wanted to cook, so we were forced to go back. Delio apologized the next day, but the whole thing was annoying. That said, kitchen is roomy and homey, well equipped for cooking—pots, pans, utensils, gas cooktop, oven, great dishwasher, also washing machine. We like cats, so we got along fine with them. They are very social, like to be near people, but if they get too much in your face, just shoo them away, they respect that. They have learned to open the room door, so we kept door open when we were in apt, shut door when we went out. At night one slept quietly in armchair, other on daybed. Mosquitos are a problem all over Florence, be careful when you have windows open—mosquitos in the room are very annoying; it is OK to have windows open during daytime,...
