Restaurants, bars, shops are just outside the street door !! Sant'Ambrogio market (open just in the morning - 3 minutes walk far) is one of the most characteristic place where you must go, to buy everything you need: from vegetables to clothes, from meat to shoes, etc. Living in Santa Croce area will allow you a full immersion in Florence atmosphere.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Lovely, clean, accessible and affordable flat. Worth every penny!
Guilliano was wonderful, The apartment perfect for our needs. It served as a perfect place to crash after touring and playing all over Florence. SO MUCH better than a hotel.

Great value for money, very spacious, and a great location.
We had no trouble finding the apartment with the directions we were given by email. My daughter and I were very warmly welcomed by Mauro's lovely parents. The apartment is so much bigger than I expected and is full of character. It is comfortable, clean and has been renovated but still retains its "Old World" charm. The apartment is located opposite the Basilica di Santa Croce, is adjacent to the Piazza Santa Croce and is walking distance from all the historical sites. For a great view of Florence and the surrounding hills, go to Villa Bardini, pay to see the gardens and the museum, and walk out on to the balcony on the 3rd floor of the museum.
