APPARTAMENTO REAL TASTE OF TUSCANY TOP, Florence

This area is quieter than the tourist core, with many authentic restaurants, wine bars, and cafes within a 5- to 10-minute stroll. All major sights - Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi, Piazza della Signoria, Duomo - are within a 10- to 20-minute walk. The tram line at Alamanni-Stazione station connects directly to the airport, making car-free arrival simple. Parking is unavailable, and driving in the centre is best avoided.

Both units feature parquet floors, antique-style furnishings, air conditioning, heating, and a private bathroom with shower and bidet. The kitchens are fully equipped with an oven, stovetop, refrigerator, and kitchenware. Each unit has a separate living area with a flat-screen TV and dining table. The 2-bedroom layout is spacious enough for families or two couples, though the second bedroom is compact. Windows face the street - light sleepers may notice street noise and church bells, which some find part of the city's charm. The second unit contains a washing machine and dryer.

The apartment offers breakfast in the room (continental-style) and wine/champagne on request for a fee. For guests who prefer to self-cater, the kitchen is well equipped with a stovetop, oven, refrigerator, and cookware. The surrounding Oltrarno neighbourhood is packed with restaurants, trattorias, and cafes within a few minutes' walk, including Il Santo Bevitore, Trattoria Sant'Agostino, and Gustapizza - all popular for Tuscan cuisine.

The property provides free WiFi throughout. An airport shuttle can be booked at an additional charge, though the tram T2 line offers a cheaper direct connection from the airport. The host offers a concierge-style service with local recommendations (restaurants, gelato, wine). A shared lounge/TV area is on site. Babysitting/child services can be arranged. Cleaning services (daily housekeeping, laundry, ironing) are available for a fee. Safety features include a safety deposit box, key access, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers.
