The best feature of this apartment (flat) is its location. It's a perfect choice for quick access to the best of Florence's beautiful places. You can walk to the famous Duomo in 5 minutes. It's a short walk to the Santa Maria Novella transit hub (buses, trams, taxis and trains). Even shorter is the bus stop for the C1 and C2 buses that are very inexpensive ways to get to most all of the top attractions. The little magazine kiosk near the front door sells city bus tickets (biglietti autobus, 4.70€ for 4 rides). The apartment has a modern galley-style kitchen with all new appliances. There is a great food market just up the street and to the left that has a great selection of fresh produce, meat and fish along with all the other grocery store stuff. It also has a 'European-sized' front-loading washing machine, great to help you pack light. No dryer. Tiny shower stall.
This second floor apartment has high wood-beam ceilings and ceramic tile floors. It is tastefully decorated.
This is an ideal choice for those who are comfortable taking city buses and preparing some meals all to save on travel costs. There are also dozens of great restaurants nearby and taxis are easy to get. The trade off for its great location is the city noise. Closing the windows and the interior, solid wood shutters does help.
We're glad we stayed here.
