FLORENTINE STYLE CENTRAL APARTMENTS, Florence

Set in the heart of Florence, this apartment sits on a quiet street but is within a short walk of the main attractions, including the Duomo, train station, and major museums. The area is lively with restaurants, cafés, and shops, yet the building itself offers a peaceful base. The location is ideal for exploring the historic centre on foot; many landmarks are reachable within 5-10 minutes. The train station (Santa Maria Novella) is close, making day trips easy. Parking is not available, so a car is not recommended.

The apartment is an air-conditioned unit with 1 living room, 1 separate bedroom, and 1 bathroom with a shower. The mezzanine floor contains beds (either 3 or 2 beds depending on configuration) and a sofa. The steep wooden ladder and low beams require care, especially for anyone with mobility issues. The kitchenette includes a stovetop, refrigerator, kitchenware, and tea/coffee maker. The bathroom is small and functional. Some elements are older, and the mezzanine floor creaks; the apartment is best suited for short stays where location is the priority. The terrace offers an inner courtyard view.

Breakfast is served in the apartment or as a takeaway option, featuring Italian pastries, juice, and fresh fruit. The charge of 100EUR is notable, so it is worth planning ahead. The surrounding streets are filled with restaurants, trattorias, and cafés, including L'Osteria di Giovanni, Parione, and Caffe Amerini, all within a 3-minute walk. For self-catering, the kitchenette is equipped with a stovetop, refrigerator, and kitchenware, and a minimarket is on site.

The property provides free WiFi in all areas, air conditioning and heating, and a terrace with outdoor furniture. A washing machine is available in the apartment, useful for longer stays. There is no lift; the apartment is on an upper floor. Luggage storage after checkout is possible by arrangement with the host. Multilingual reception staff speak Italian, English, Moldovan, Romanian, and Chinese. A minimarket and barber/beauty shop are on site. Safety features include key access, and an invoice is provided upon request.
