Adding to what Donna wrote above - it is quite common for there to not be dryers in apartments here at all, just washers. Everyone hangs to dry, using free solar energy! It also makes for picturesque pictures in some locations (not in Florence, as it is forbidden to hang clothes to dry on external balconies in the center, they aren't considered pretty). Anyways, it will be quick and you won't have to make your way to the local laundromats. Having the washer in the apartment is really quite handy.
