San Frediano, in the center, quiet area, 5 minutes walk from Ponte Vecchio, Piazza del Carmine, Palazzo Pitti, a lovely, very quiet apartment completely renovated. Typical Florentine furniture with everything needed for the living room, equipped with all comforts (wifi internet-washing machine-hot / cold air conditioning-heating-refrigerator-32 "flat screen TV).
Borgo San Frediano is a street located Diladdarno, as they say in Florence, in the district where once the workshops of the artisans of Oltrarno were located, and where the Florentine vernacular was most widespread. It is the headquarters of the craft shops and the most passionate and true local culture. The known liveliness of this district is consolidated by the presence of people who have lived and worked for generations in the streets around Piazza del Carmine. A city within the city, with its characters and stories, customs and beliefs, where you can breathe the atmosphere of belonging to the same traditions. Obligatory stop for those looking for an original and bohemian nightlife, restaurants and trattorias of home cooking and above all the most intimate and fabulous art and history of Florence.
The apartment has a very central location, all the most important monuments can be reached on foot.

If you will use the car to get to Florence I recommend using a garage because the paid parking spaces are quite expensive and very difficult to find. The closest garage to the apartment is located in Piazza Cestello.

Limited Traffic Zone: The historic center of Florence is a ZTL zone which means a 'limited traffic zone' and, therefore, special rules apply to access to this zone. This particular apartment is in fact located within the ZTL area so this means that if you are thinking of coming to Florence by car and want to arrive by car, you will need to pay particular attention to the road signs and cameras that limit access to this area (they will show a red or green light) to avoid fines. Guests who need to travel within the ZTL area by car to reach our apartment are advised to contact one of the private garages in the center (the one closest to the apartment is located in Piazza del Tiratoio 3 / r) and obtain a temporary access permission. Upon arrival in the garage, guests must specify their need for access to the ZTL and the garage will write down the vehicle number plate and transmit it to the traffic police to avoid fines.
There are also paid parking spaces even outside the restricted traffic area. The closest is located in Piazza del Cestello (400 meters away).
