This apartment is a five minute walk from the Duomo and 10 to the Ufizzi Gallery. It is on the second floor -- which for us who are Americans translates to the third floor. There is no lift for the building, so the walk up is 58 steps (yes, we counted!!). We ran into a couple of friendly neighbors.
Very secure. There is a locked door to the building, another for the stairway, and a third for the door. All of them take a code to enter, so no key is necessary.
About the Apartment
There are basic pots and pans, minimal cooking utensils and minimum number of glasses to drink from. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms are a plus for us. The bedrooms are quite a way from each other. One of them is directly off the dining/living/kitchen area. There are televisions. The wifi is accessible. Maybe a little slower than other places we've rented. A huge counter and kitchen sink invite you to cook! The rooms are light and large.
There are no soaps/shampoo, etc., but there is a GREAT blow dryer for hair. The hot water seems endless, and the showers are excellent.
There is nothing edible in the apartment -- no coffee, salt, sugar, etc., so grab some at the local market. A Carrefour Express is a five minute walk away, past a lovely fruit stand if you can get there before dark.
