a hidden gem of a recently renovated, to a high standard, 1 bedrooms apartment in the Santa Croce district. there is a double bedroom with separate bathroom and toilets and a superb kitchenette down a short corridor leading off from the main door. All the fittings and furnishings appear to be from Ikea and the host has kindly left candles , sofas, washing up liquid and salt to assist. The apartment was spotles and is hidden from view from a tired looking entrance hall which feeds 2 other flats. Consequently this flat is at the back of the house and more or less under the other two. there is a lack of natural light, the window is high up on the wall or a skylight so no views , but this does aid coolness in the summer, assisted by the air con. The neigbours, though generally quiet, like to do their washing up late night between 11 and 12.30. It is a bit noisy but if you are knackered after a days sightseeing in this beautiful city you'll soon fall asleep. The flat is well situated, 5 mins from Santa Croce, 10 mins from the Dumo and plazzo Vecchio and 20 mins from the station. It is well served by a clutch of restaurants, a local market and very good supermarket within 5 mins on the via Dell's Oriulo. the staff at Keys of Italy were very helpful and friendly and took care of our luggage on the last day. recommended
