The Taste of Time
Raggio di Sole
A simple, unflashy, but generally pleasant loft, Rush Hour’s main draw is its proximity to the Duomo. It also has a set of French windows that light up the entire place (it’s all a single room, with the exception of the bathroom). There are a couple of sister flats in the same building, still managed by Valerio, so while the flat itself can’t really accommodate more than two people, larger groups could book more than one place at a time. *As is pretty common in Florence, there's no lift, so you'll have to go up a rather steep staircase to reach the flat*The kitchen's very small, with only two rings on the hob, and no oven or dishwasher*The bed on the mezzanine is completely open to the living room below*Two people can sleep on a sofa bed below, but the flat feels too small for four people at once Air ConditioningBuzzer / Wireless IntercomCentral HeatingDishwasherHair DryerIronKitchenMicrowaveMultiple Sets of KeysRain ShowerTVWi-fi...More Details

Halfway between the Piazza del Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio, Abada is right in the very middle of Florence’s historic centre. The flat has a curious combination of modern touches and some more classic stylings, and while the juxtaposition might prove a bit much for some people, we think it works well. The only thing to be aware of is the slightly strange seating situation. With no sofa, the dining chairs are almost like armchairs, and while that’s good for watching TV, it does make eating at the table a bit harder. *Even though there's a lift, it starts on the first floor, so you can't avoid the stairs*We found a few signs of wear and tear – nothing major, but just worth knowing about*There's no real living room, and the only soft furniture is the chairs around the dining table*The communal area gets a bit dark, particularly when it's overcast Air ConditioningBlack-Out BlindsBuzzer / Wireless IntercomCentral HeatingDishwasherHair Dryer...More Details
