A simple, unflashy, but generally pleasant loft, Rush Hour’s main draw is its proximity to the Duomo. It also has a set of French windows that light up the entire place (it’s all a single room, with the exception of the bathroom). There are a couple of sister flats in the same building, still managed by Valerio, so while the flat itself can’t really accommodate more than two people, larger groups could book more than one place at a time.

Home truths
As is pretty common in Florence, there's no lift, so you'll have to go up a rather steep staircase to reach the flat
The kitchen's very small, with only two rings on the hob, and no oven or dishwasher
The bed on the mezzanine is completely open to the living room below
Two people can sleep on a sofa bed below, but the flat feels too small for four people at once
