With a fantastic central Florence location and a terrace ideal for twilight drinks, you'll quickly see how this two-storey apartment made it into our collection. While having the terrace comes with a price – the home is on the third floor, and there's no lift – we think it's worth it. Indoors, the wooden ceilings are a nice touch, and having a fully-equipped kitchen is always a plus. When it comes time to explore, you'll find Santa Maria Novella, the San Lorenzo Market, and the Duomo all within walking distance.

Home truths:
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the third-floor entrance of the home. In addition, the apartment is over two levels, with the terrace and one of the bedrooms upstairs. Guests in this bedroom will need to go downstairs to use the bathroom.
*The single beds in the twin room can be joined together to make a double on request.
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents.
*If you're travelling for work, you'll find a desk in one of the bedrooms.
