San Marco is the Florence neighbourhood where you ll find the university, the botanical garden and Michelangelo s David. It s also one of the few corners of the city centre where locals still do their everyday shopping. The Accademia Gallery is a six minute walk away. Five minutes further on, you ll reach the Central Market, where people shop in the morning and eat upstairs at lunchtime. Around the apartment, you ll find a bakery, a greengrocer, a few bars with familiar regulars and the Fortezza da Basso. It s a central but non touristy area. In the evening, the streets quieten down and you can sleep peacefully. From here, you can reach everything else on foot, without needing public transport. **WITHIN TEN MINUTES** * Accademia Gallery * San Marco Museum, with frescoes by Fra Angelico * Giardino dei Semplici Botanical Garden * Medici Chapels * Central Market * Cathedral and Baptistery **ALMOST EVERYTHING WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE** * Accademia Gallery 6 min * Central Market and San Lorenzo 6 min * Santa Maria Novella railway station 9 min * Cathedral and Baptistery 10 min * Palazzo Vecchio and the Uffizi 15 min * Ponte Vecchio 18 min **FROM THE AIRPORT, NO CHANGES NEEDED** Tram line T2 departs from outside the arrivals area at Florence Airport and takes you to Piazza San Marco, a three minute walk from the apartment.

Apartment on the third floor of a building with an elevator, with everything on one level. **THE TWO BEDROOMS** Two separate bedrooms, each with a double bed, wardrobe and its own door. You never have to walk through one bedroom to reach the other. This makes a real difference when travelling as four: those who go to bed early and those who return late won't disturb each other. **LIVING AREA** Open plan living room with a sofa, TV and dining table for four. Fully equipped kitchen with hob, oven, fridge, dishwasher, espresso machine and kettle. Pots and dishes for proper cooking, not just reheating food. A washing machine is available in the apartment throughout your stay. **THE BATHROOM** One full bathroom with a spacious shower, shared by both bedrooms. There is only one. We mention it here and again below because, for four guests, it's one of the most useful things to know before booking. **AMENITIES** Air conditioning Fast Wi Fi throughout the apartment Hotel quality bed linen and towels, changed for every stay Hairdryer, iron and drying rack Soap, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel included Coffee, tea and breakfast essentials ready for your arrival **WHO IT SUITS BEST** Two couples travelling together, a family with older children, or two colleagues on an extended business trip. It's less convenient for four people who all need to leave at the same time in the morning: with just one bathroom, that half hour can feel long.

We prefer to tell you upfront about anything that might not suit you, rather than let you discover it on arrival. * There is only one bathroom. It s convenient for two people, but four guests should take this into account: if everyone leaves at the same time in the morning, a little planning will be needed. * The building is a residential property with permanent residents. Quiet hours start at 10 PM. No parties or events. * Smoking is not allowed indoors, not even by the windows. * The apartment is inside the ZTL (restricted traffic zone). Do not drive in without arranging a permit with us first: the fine may arrive months later, directly at your home address. * At check in, we register every guest s identity documents, as required by Italian law.
