You'd be hard-pressed to find a more central location than this apartment. It's right in the heart of the action, with tonnes to see and do just outside the door. The Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, and Uffizi Gallery are all just a one-minute walk away. And, although this central spot does mean there may be some street noise, it's the price you pay for having so much within reach. With freshly appointed interiors and a compact kitchen for preparing light bites between sights, it's ideal for a family or group of friends when in Florence.

Home truths
Bookings of 31 nights or more cannot be accepted due to local regulations. Please note that if you book a stay longer than 30 nights, your reservation will be cancelled.
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
