Description Ode to Santa Maria: Firenze

Situated in the heart of Florence, with the iconic Ponte Vecchio only a stone’s throw away, this home gives you access to some of the capital’s best sights. See the city’s love of art in renaissance galleries and museums within walking distance, and don’t miss the touristy bits like the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and Piazzale Michelangelo – more of a walk, but worth the views. The home, on the sixth floor with a working elevator – rare in Florence – might not be revolutionary, and the kitchen is small, but it is comfortable, and the view of the river and Duomo is a nice touch.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area
*For those with reduced mobility, this is a single-level home
*One well-behaved dog may be welcome to accompany you during your stay, with prior approval from your host
*This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected – light sleepers may want to pack earplugs
