Modern and cozy apartment with large private garden, located in Florence in the Santa Croce area. Recommended for 4 people, it can accommodate up to 6 for short periods by using a sofa bed in the living area. It has 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom.

DESCRIPTION
The apartment is located on the ground floor (two steps down) of a building on Via Ghibellina, a very lively street (shops, restaurants, theater ..) very close to Piazza Santa Croce, therefore in the heart of Florence and a few minutes walk away from the main monuments. At the same time it is located not far from the ring roads and close to a large underground car park (subject to charges).

The apartment is very quiet because it is located in an internal courtyard, and has a nice private garden furnished with tables, chairs and deck chairs, excellent opportunity for a moment of relaxation, a drink or an outdoor dinner.
Inside the garden there is a small laundry room that contains the washing machine and the dryer.

The apartment, recently renovated, is modern and located on two levels (65 sqm). It is ideal to accommodate 4 people, but can accommodate up to 6 thanks to the double sofa bed which is perfect for children.
On the first level, open on the garden, there is the living area (kitchen, with dishwasher, foldaway in a large wardrobe, extendable dining table for 6 people, comfortable sofa bed 140 cm wide and SmartTV), a double bedroom (non-separable bed, 160 cm wide, bed side tables and a wardrobe), a small corridor and a complete bathroom with shower.
Going up then 11 rather narrow steps you arrive at the loft (ceiling height 180 cm) where there is the second double bedroom (inseparable bed, 160 cm wide, large chest of drawers and wall hanger) that overlooks the living area thanks to a glass structure that helps to give light to the upper floor.

Independent heating and air conditioning

Garden maintenance: we inform you that the gardener will generally go to the garden after 6.00 pm (on the weekend he could come at different times) to water the plants as needed depending on the weather conditions. Obviously it won't water if guests are in the garden.

GUEST ACCESS
Guests have access to the whole house, the garden and the laundry, full use of the kitchen, sheets and towels provided.
