Florence Butterfly

With a private courtyard terrace and elegant interiors, there's a lot to like about this central Florence apartment. If we were being picky, the elegant bedrooms are a bit of a squeeze, and it's worth noting the last two guests will be sharing a sofa bed in the lounge. But there is ample storage space, and the two separate shower rooms to kick start your day are handy. The compact but well-equipped kitchen is better suited to breakfasts and lighter bites. Although with a clutch of cafes and trattorias just moments from your door, we don't think you'll mind.

Home truths:
*This home sleeps six guests, with the last two guests sharing a double sofa bed in the lounge space. We think this bed is better suited to short stays or children sharing. *This home is part of an apartment building, and you’ll share an entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay. *The second bedroom is quite small with limited floor space. However, it has everything you need for a comfortable night's sleep and ample storage. *Daylight in the bedrooms is limited. Great for a good night's sleep, but it won't suit everyone. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
