Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This apartment enjoys a prime location in the centre of Florence. The world-famous Duomo is mere footsteps from your front door and the surrounding historic streets are packed with gelaterias, art-filled museums, ancient chapels and family-run restaurants. The apartment is split across two levels with the living area tucked away on the mezzanine. With its own bathroom, the living room doubles as a comfortable second bedroom if you don’t mind sacrificing the sofa space. The kitchen may be compact, but it has all the essentials, making this an ideal city bolthole.

Home truths
This apartment is on the second floor. While there is a lift in the building, there are a few steps up to it.
The living area is on a mezzanine level accessed by stairs, so this place may not suit those with limited mobility.
At capacity, two guests will be on the sofa bed in the mezzanine living area. There is a bathroom off the living room too.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
There is no private parking with this apartment, but it's in the centre of Florence where heavy traffic restrictions are in place so having a car is not necessary.
