Sitting just a stone’s throw from the River Arno, this comfortable apartment puts you in a prime position to explore Florence’s most celebrated sights. Wood floors, a whitewashed brick wall and contemporary decor set a stylishly minimalist scene in the open-plan living area. We love the decorative touches here – from the tube pendant lighting to the decorative plate print on the wall. The large draped curtains add a touch of serenity to the proceedings, ensuring you feel perfectly at home whether you’re kicking back on the sofa with a glass of Italian red or gathering around the dining table for a celebratory meal when you’re not out sampling the local trattorias. With a pared-back yet inviting bedroom beckoning a sound night’s sleep, as well as a sleek bathroom equipped with a rainfall shower, you’ve got everything you need for a carefree stay. When it comes to sightseeing, make a beeline for the Uffizi Gallery – a two-minute walk – or stroll across the enchanting Ponte Vecchio, four minutes away on foot. You’re also a three-minute walk from Piazza della Signoria, an eight-minute stroll from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, while the Accademia Gallery – home to Michelangelo's David – is fourteen minutes on foot from your door. Home truths: *There's no lift in the building, so you'll need to climb forty stairs to reach the apartment on the second floor *At capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room *The living room faces the neighbouring building so doesn't offer much of a view *The home has a self-controlled heating and cooling system *As you're in a central location, you may hear some street noise. *The shower in this home is very small *The building's entrance is shared with the other residents *You'll receive an in-person check-in *We recommend skipping the car here and exploring Florence on foot, by taxi or by public transport – the Galleria Degli Uffizi bus stop is a one-minute walk away
