Less than a kilometre from the Galleria dell’Accademia and the Duomo, this apartment makes exploring Florence a breeze. Despite the central location, the surrounding neighbourhood is uncrowded and peaceful, while the apartment itself overlooks a quiet internal courtyard. Inside, it's bright and homely with a neat little kitchen. A sofa bed in the living area provides extra sleeping space, though we think this home might feel a bit snug for four. That said, with the city at your doorstep, you’ll likely be spending more time out than in.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
The kitchen is on the smaller side. We think it's better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
Well-behaved pets may be allowed to accompany you during your stay upon request.
This home is in a limited traffic area, which means parking requires a permit – that said, you won't need a car in Florence. You're within easy walking distance of many of the city's top sights.
