Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Found in the very heart of Florence – the Piazza del Duomo really is seconds down the road – this studio apartment won't be beaten on location. Housed within a beautifully restored building, the home provides the essentials for a solo traveller or couple seeking a Renaissance getaway. The only bed here is the sofa bed, but if you keep it unfolded for the duration of your stay, there's still a good amount of space to cook using the kitchen stove, or make plans at the dining table. Then again, given the home's proximity to so many cafes and bars, you may be tempted to spend your whole stay socialising with the locals and sampling Florentine delicacies.

Home truths
This is a studio apartment, with the only bed being a sofa bed in the living area.
There is a set of steps leading up to elevator here. It might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
Well-behaved pets are welcome to join you upon request.
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.
