It’s hard to beat the location of this apartment, which is in the heart of Florence. The city’s main square, Piazza della Signoria, is just moments away, and you’ll also be a short walk from landmarks like Florence Cathedral (also known as the Duomo) and the Uffizi Galleries (an art-lover’s dream). With its high ceilings and wooden beams, this two-bedroom apartment blends character and comfort. There's a kitchen for cooking at home, however with so many restaurants right nearby, you can take a break from cooking if you prefer. It makes a great base for exploring – just remember to pack a comfortable pair of sightseeing shoes.

Home truths:
*The apartment is on the first floor without a lift.
*The two single beds can be converted to a double on request.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
