Stylish and central, this apartment hits all the right notes. It's a stone's throw from the Ponte Vecchio and perched above Borgo San Iacopo, making it easy to explore Florence on foot. Palazzo Pitti, Uffizi Gallery, Piazza della Signoria – nearly all the landmarks are within walking distance. Aside from location, the design back home is nothing to scoff at. The living space is sleek and comfortable (albeit a tad snug), while the contemporary kitchen is just the right size to rustle up quick bites. A single bedroom doubles as a study, too – ideal if you're in town for work.

Home truths:
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot upon request.
*We think the single bedroom is a better fit for children, as the bed is on the smaller side.
*Given the central location on Borgo San Iacopo, expect to hear some street noise during your stay.
