Riccardo met us at the flat and showed us around, explained the facilities and gave advice on local shops and restaurants, which was much appreciated.
The apartment is very spacious, well furnished and clean, view of the Duomo from the kitchen balcony (kitchen small but well equipped). More than enough room for our family of five - so much space! We had a wonderful five nights in and around Firenze. Supermarket, bakery butcher and tabacchi all close nearby, as is the No.4 bus into town and Statuto station. Only hint would that light sleepers may wish to stay in one of the rear bedrooms as in the front bedroom there is some noise from the nearby railway (though I slept soundly there).
Many thanks again, Riccardo.
