The Modern Floret

With a great location in the hip Santo Spirito district, this two-storey Florence home is ideal for travellers who want the best local vibes. There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, and lots of the city's most famous attractions are within walking distance. Back at home, there are several outdoor spaces if you want to enjoy the sun, though neither stands out – especially as there are several parks in the area. And while the home's style isn't going to win a design award, there's everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. As there are no curtains in the living area, guests sleeping on them might want to pack an eye mask.
*The lounge is somewhat overlooked by the building opposite. There's a chance you might see a neighbour or two through the French doors.
*For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor twin bedroom and bathroom here.
*The second bedroom is quite small with limited storage space.
*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a desk here, although the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
