With a charming terrace overlooking red-tiled roofs, we love that this home immerses you in Florence. You're just a short walk from Ponte Vecchio here, and you'll find a wide range of eateries closeby. Back at home, the second bedroom's ensuite opens up into the bedroom – as there's no curtain, we think it's better for baths. In addition, you'll be climbing several flights of stairs to reach this third-floor home as there's no elevator – though we think the terrace makes it worth the walk. It also might not be suitable for some during summer – there's only air conditioning in the living areas, though there are plenty of windows to let in a breeze.

Home truths
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home on the third floor.
There is a large opening between the ensuite and the second bedroom with no curtain partitioning them. We think it's better suited to baths than showers, as the latter may involve water entering the bed.
You won't find any air conditioning outside the living area here, so it might get stuffy in summer.
The stairs leading up to the terrace are narrow and tired-looking. We also think they are not appropriate for guests who have a severe fear of heights, as they are outside.
The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents.
