From Santa Maria Novella Central Station, if you want to get to my apartment by bus, you have to first purchase a 1 ride bus ticket at the booth right in front of the train tracks. Then get out on the Pharmacy side and take a left. Look for bus stop for bus n. 14 direction Il Girone or Via Ripa (A, B or C doesn't matter). Please note that you don’t have to cross the street but to stay along the side of the station.Once inside the bus, stamp your tickets at the machine. The bus ride will last about 10/15 minutes, depending on the traffic, and you will need to step out at the first stop on Via Quintino Sella (it should be the 13th stop). From there, you cross the road, you walk along Via del Campofiore (the street that will go north on your left hand side) and walk up north until you reach the following street (the parallel to Via Quintino Sella), via Giovanni Lanza. It's not a long walk on both ends, do not worry.
