The apartment is organized on 2 levels (the 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom are upstairs), has intercom, air conditioning in the two bedrooms, mosquito screens on every window - very useful especially in Summertime! - and anything you may need for an unforgettable stay in Florence.

A Lift/Elevator is also present in the building.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
The apartment is located next to one of the most appealing streets of Florence for shop-aholics, Via Gioberti. Via Gioberti is nicknamed 'Via delle Centovetrine' ('the road of one hundred shopfronts'), and is illuminated by restaurants, cafes, gelaterie, fashion stores, jewellers, bakeries, perfumeries, supermarkets and department stores, etc... Shopping in this area is indeed cheaper than in the rest of the city as the area is located just outside the main city boulevards (that pass through Piazza Beccaria and mark the border of the historical centre) but it's still within walking distance from the main attractions.

YOU ARE ONLY:
BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT (BUS 14 & 6):
(bus stop next to the main door or within 3 minutes walking distance)
10 minutes from Duomo
12 minutes from Central Station

BY FOOT: 15 minutes from Sant’Ambrogio/Santa Croce area

BY CAR: 5 minutes from the city center.

PARKING:
Parking in the city center is not allowed to non resident.
On the contrary, the great thing about my apartment is that parking is easy and can be done in the street or in the streets nearby at the maximum cost of Euro 12 a day (Sunday and Public Holidays parking is for free!). Should you prefer a 24/7 surveilled city car parking, then Parking Alberti is located right around the corner (2 minutes by foot) where you can park at the cost of Euro 20 a day or Euro 70 a week.
What a great opportunity to use my property as a perfect base to discover by car the beautiful cities and landscapes that Tuscany has to offer you!

QUIETNESS:
As opposed to other apartments in the city center, you will fully enjoy the tranquility of this area, far better than the noisy narrow medieval streets packed with people that will often prevent you from sleeping at night.

CHECK IN PROCEDURE:
As this is not a hotel (but the personal assistance is far better, trust me!), and therefore there is no 24/7 reception duty, in order to organize the check in I will need the exact time of your arrival at the apartment. I will allow a maximum of 30 minutes of delay, after which we may leave the place and you will need to schedule another appointment by calling us directly.
Late check in (after 8pm) - € 30 to be paid at check in
