This apartment, only a stone's throw from the gothic facade of Florence's first great basilica, Santa Maria Novella, is all about connecting you to the best sights in the city. Find cafes and shops on your way to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore or the Leonardo Da Vinci Museum. The home itself is comfortable, and even though two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed, it's in the privacy of a bedroom with access to an unshared bathroom. From the balcony, you can also take in the sights and sounds of the city at your fingertips.
