Crystal Suite is a very short walk from Santa Maria Novella, the main train station in Florence, so those arriving with bags by train won't have far to go to get settled in. Once there, the Duomo and Piazza della Signoria are just around the corner - an incredibly short walk to everything really.

This old, charming flat has one main living room, bathroom with shower, and an open plan kitchen with huge windows and very high ceilings - so much so that there's space for a second level loft bedroom with bathroom and shower.

Best for couples that don't mind the semi-lack of privacy in the upstairs bedroom! Although there's the second one downstairs too, and the glass around part of the shower and the toilet is frosted and opaque.

The original ceilings are really stunning - the kind of thing you expect to see in a museum and part of the unique experience of staying in an apartment in such an old city.

Professionally run by an individual who has her own apartments, as well as others, on the site, so guests can expect a high level of professional hospitality.

Two of the suites share a laundry room with washer and dryer as well that guests are welcome to use.
