We walked to the apartment from the train station, which took more than 15 minutes. As most of the pedestrian walkway was not smooth, it was a bit difficult to drag your luggage. But Francesco had told us that the best way to get to the apartment was by taxi or transfer. However, by walking, we got ourselves familiarized with the city.
There are five bedrooms in the apartment. One of the bedroom is ensuite. The other two bedrooms ( the ceiling of one of the bedroom is beautifully painted in blue colour with floral patterns) on the same floor share one bathroom. There are another two bedrooms on the upper level sharing one bathroom. The bathrooms are clean, tidy and well equipped. The apartment is bigger than our expectation and enough for nine of us. There is a big living room with a big table for us to get together to have drinks, snacks and chit chat. There is a big kitchen with sufficient appliances and utensils and we prepared our breakfast almost everyday during our stay. There are also a washing machine and a rack, which could be put in the terrace, for hanging your clothes for drying. We enjoyed our stay in the apartment.

Francesco was always quick to respond to our inquires and allowed us to check-in at 1pm which was much earlier than the stipulated time of 4pm; and his assistant, Mrs Elly Eleonorar greeted us in the apartment, explained everything necessary about the apartment and introduced briefly to us the area around, in particular, the walk to Piazzale Michelangelo. We did the walk and had a great view of Florence.
