A curiosity concerns the church of "Santa Maria Maggiore", a stone's throw from the building, on the opposite side of the road, on which there is a curious marble head that seems to be floating on the facade.
One of the legends concerning this statue claims that it was a woman looking out the window. She had the bad idea of mocking a man condemned to death from her window while he was being escorted to the gallows of the Bargello for heresy. This man looked at her and said something that casted a curse on her. At first nothing happened, but the next day, when she looked out of the window again, she stood still and gradually turned into a stone statue. From that moment on she is there and she looks at people on via dei Cerretani.

Taxis are quick and easy to book and displace
In Florence taxis are easy to take, they usually come in 5 minutes, and are a good price/quality service. We usually suggest you to use them to move from the central train station of Florence or Peretola Airport.

Do I have to take out the garbage?
We are aware of the fact that in many countries garbage can be thrown directly in specific compartments in the building itself, but here in Florence people need to take its trash out.
For locals it's absolutely normal and the trash bins aren't that far from home. In fact the nearest trash bins are only 2 minutes walking distance from the apartment.
