Santa Croce Cozy Duplex

Fantastic location , it is cozy and silent place

design of dublex for family is not easy since bathroom is in top . Also you need to go up for entrance a quite number of steps

Locatia, comunicarea, curatenia

O singura baie la etaj

Parfait très bien situé et appartement probablement refait par un architecte. Tout est soigné !

Les toilettes à l’étage bon c’est un peu galère mais ça va avec le charme de l’appartement.

The apartment was very spacious and well appointed, with a separate kitchen, fully stocked with plates, dishes, cutlery, full size fridge, sink, etc. big lounge diner with comfy sofa, TV, dining set,etc. Up the stairs from there was a mezzanine floor with large double bed and small bathroom with shower, sink and toilet and large wardrobe. Security was good, it was shared site but we had a big security gate, inner courtyard then personal keys for our apartment. The young man who met us with the keys was very helpful and explained everything well. It was in a fantastic position just round the corner from the Piazza Santa Croce and all tourist spots no more than 15 minutes away. Don’t be put off by the street, it looks a bit shady but we found this was typical of all the old historic streets of Florence and we felt completely safe. There was also a Carrefour supermarket just round the corner which was fab for milk, etc.

The inner courtyard is unlit at night when we returned to our apartment and in pitch black it was hard not to trip over the watering hose. Also be aware that if you struggle to climb stairs the apartment is accessed via a narrow spiral staircase with no handrail. Our welcome guide kindly carried our cases up for us but doing it several times a day could be a problem if you are not very steady on your legs. We were fine and we are 73 so don’t be put off.
