Home truths
If you're arriving by car, the nearest garage is a 5-minute walk away – there's no parking at the apartment itself. We recommend using public transport or exploring on foot where possible, as Florence's historic centre is very walkable.
You'll be letting yourself in independently using a smartphone app. A set of traditional keys is also kept inside the apartment if you prefer those.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
For those with reduced mobility, this home is lift accessible.

Local guide
About Santa Croce
Santa Croce is a trendy, architecturally impressive neighbourhood that’s less busy than the Duomo or San Marco districts, but still in the heart of Florence. Home to the eponymous basilica, and the Casa Buonarroti museum, it’s located in the eastern part of Florence’s historic centre. The largest crowds have thinned out by this point, but if you stay here, you're still close enough to explore the whole city on foot....
