I am guessing that Sid's office is close to the flat as once prompted by text that we were standing outside, he came to meet us very quickly to unlock and show us one or two things we needed to know. He is pleasant and smiley but we didn't have any more contact as we didn't have any problems. The flat is in a good position and we walked to and from it easily only taking taxis when we were going much further afield. Being in the middle of things has its advantages as well as a few cons - noise at night from a local club until 3am and from the club goers leaving - they aren't that close but you can hear the thud of the bass if you are a light sleeper. The local bell tower chimes from 6am until midnight - oddly, it seems to be 7 minutes slow! The photos are generous in their image of the flat - it is perfectly adequate but it is "tired" with a few things needing a bit of attention - broken mosquito net in the kitchen, curtain rail that falls off when curtains drawn, general decoration here and there. In many ways, the state of the flat is reflected in the very reasonable price. Good shower and for me, the bed was comfy even though others have said it is hard. Nice kitchen - didn't use it but it is very well equipped and it could have been fun cooking in there if we had been there longer. Liked being at the top of the building and having the rooftops out of the window - climbing the steps each day helped burn some of the calories from all of the pasta we ate. Sid recommended a place on the corner for a sandwich saying it was famous in Florence. He was right and we were lucky to go there late in the afternoon because any other time we would have had to queue round the block - fantastic sandwich! It is an interesting street for salami/ham sandwiches and there is a good coffee bar down the road - the modern one on the corner. I think I would go back there.
