Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You'll find this apartment just a five-minute walk from the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge. The Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, and Uffizi Galleries are within easy reach. But if you prefer a view, Piazzale Michelangelo offers the best panoramas in the city – it's just a twenty-minute walk away. After your adventures, come home to this contemporary and practical pad. The kitchen is well-appointed for rustling up something tasty, the bedroom is the epitome of comfort, and the living space features a sofa bed for a third guest. Just note that there's a steep flight of stairs to reach the entrance, and the surrounding area is rather hilly – we suggest packing light.

Home truths
At full capacity, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
This apartment is on the first floor of a historic building without a lift. The staircase is quite steep, and there are roughly twenty-one steps to climb. The street leading to the building is also steep. With this in mind, we don't think it's suitable for those with limited mobility.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair upon request.
The hot water can be a little unreliable, and the shower pressure isn't the strongest.
