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 4 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 want to make the most of being in the apartment, the Mercato di Sant’ Ambrogio (the city’s second main food market after the Mercato San Lorenzo) is close by so you can stock up on fresh, local, typical ingredients. There are also several supermarkets, food stores and gift shops in the surrounding area.

For eating out, Via Fiesolana is nearby some of Florence’s best eateries. In less than 7 minutes you can reach Via dei Benci, home to every genre of restaurant and bar that one could want. Three of the city’s finest restaurants, Cibreo, Pinchiorri and Alle Murate, are also located nearby.

Transport

Florence is a relatively small city and there are many ways to travel. The quickest way to get around is on foot (and that way you are much more likely to discover a hidden gem - a beautiful garden inside a palazzo, a hidden away church with beautiful frescoes, a small boutique with beautiful hand made jewellery). If you want to explore outside of the city you can travel easily by train from the main station, Santa Maria Novella, where you can take day trips to many other beautiful places in Tuscany and even to Venice or Rome. There are also many places to visit by bus. Alternatively, you can always take a taxi. You can easily access all of these methods of transport from the apartment.

If you have a rental car, there are a couple of parking garages 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.
