A spacious, well-furnished, light-filled apartment in a really interesting apartment block with matching original front doors, marble stairs and open metalwork handrails. Easy to heat with lots of hot water, a big bedroom with lots of storage,, a pretty, openable serving hatch between the kitchen and living room and a balcony. Don’t be misled by its nearness to a railway line, it is situated in what many Florentines consider one of the best and safest areas to live in Florence, the heart of which is the attractive shop and cafe filled Via Gioberti. And it’s only a 10 minute walk to find yourself in the cool but traditional Sant Ambrogio area with its fantastic covered and open air market and great little places to eat and drink with a studenty but local atmosphere. And in 25 minutes you are at the Duomo. Don’t forget to walk straight down Via Capo di Mondo until you reach the river. There is a brilliant local open air cafe in the riverside park, where you can sit and enjoy views of the Arno and admire the rowers with excellent prices and no charge for sitting.
