My home is located in the center of Florence, near Santa Croce and the beautiful Sant’Ambrogio green market (also sells cheese, fish, meat, bread and flowers!). The Arno river is close by and very nice for a walk or a bike ride.

The apartment is very bright, it is on the third floor (no elevator as buildings in the center rarely are large enough for elevators). It has two bedrooms but only one will be made available, and two bathrooms. A large kitchen and a living room that can be used as an office/studio room, with a desk, a library and a sofa. The views from the windows are amazing: a green landscape and roofs! You may hear the church’s bells calling people to mass which adds to the charm.

While being close to Florence’s main attractions it is not overcrowded: the nearby Sant Ambrogio square is where locals shop or stroll or have coffee or a drink. No TV in the apartment but plenty of books. One of the ceilings still has its original fresco painting.

Utilities are not included. Cleaning once a week will need to be included for stays longer than one week. No smoking please. Pets aren’t allowed, I’m sorry. No parties. I’m looking forward to renting my place to someone quiet and tidy.

Minimum stay: I can only accept a minimum of one week, preferably longer. For stays longer than one week, the cost of a maid will need to be included (she would be paid directly to her, 50euro).

The airport is a tramway ride away. The main station a pleasurable 30 minutes walk. It is easy to walk anywhere from my place and from Florence you can easily get to small towns in Tuscany as well as main cities.
