Staying at Via Tavolini Apartments will allow you to live in the heart of the city, mingle with locals and tourists alike, and take advantage of all of the shopping possibilities. The Via de' Calzaiuoli is only empty of people in the wee hours of the morning, though it is foot traffic only. Because you are high up on the sixth floor, and the apartments have no windows which open onto the street, noise is not a problem. Downstairs, on the Via dei Tavolini, Trattoria Paoli is a favorite for lunch and dinner with locals, and immediately next door to the entrance to the apartments is an elegant coffee shop with delicious pastries. Via Tavolini 1 is the smaller of the two apartments, which are both accessed from a short common hallway at the top of the stairway from the fifth floor.
Entry is directly into a large living room with comfortable overstuffed furniture.
To the left is the entry to the well-supplied kitchen with dining table. To the north, the Duomo seems so close that you can almost touch it, and to the south, the Palazzo Vecchio and Piazza Signoria are almost as near. Just off the entrance from the living room to the kitchen are the bathrooms. The full bathroom features a stall shower, while the half bathroom contains another toilet, a deep sink, and a washing machine. Crossing the living room to the side opposite the kitchen, one enters the master bedroom, which contains two double beds, a large wardrobe, end table, and another table.
