Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Imagine being a short stroll from the most special spots in Florence. That’s where you’ll be when you stay at this cosy apartment. Our favourite feature is the balcony, which offers a glimpse of the Palazzo Vecchio – it’s the perfect perch for planning your day. There’s a basic kitchen too (best for simple meals), but with so many restaurants nearby, we heartily recommend sampling the local cuisine. The downside? It’s a fourth-floor apartment without a lift, so you’ll have to climb quite a few stairs when you come and go. But name a landmark in Florence and you can probably walk to it from here – and that’s the thing we love most.

Home truths
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home, which is on the fourth floor.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob and a microwave. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
One of the bedrooms has access to the balcony.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
This home isn't suitable for infants under the age of 2 years old.
