Location details and neighborhood.
The apartment is located in one of Florence’s liveliest neighborhoods and provides a rare glimpse of “old” Florence with typical antique shops and artisan studios: locals still live and work in this area and have not given it over completely to generic chain shops and hotels as some other areas of the center have slowly done. You will find the flea market at Piazza dei Ciompi, a 5 minute walk. If however you are looking for luxury shopping, the main shopping street, Via Tornabuoni, is also only a few minutes’ walk.
All of the city's main monuments and points of interests can be quickly and easily reached on foot. To name a few examples: Florence’s landmark, the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, the Bargello (one of Italy’s most important sculpture museums), the Casa Buonarroti, (the former home of Michelangelo), and of course the magnificent Santa Croce church and museum.
If you have a rental car, there is a parking garage called “Garage del Bargello,” located steps away from the apartment. Since the apartment is located in a restricted traffic zone, they will take care of discharging the license plate of the car for you so that you do not get a fine.
