Borgo S. Lorenzo is a two bedroom, one bathroom home in Florence. White-painted, with slick contemporary furnishings, vivid turquoise accessories and striking zigzag floor tiles, this home’s open-plan living area feels very cool. Both the second bedroom (at the top of an unusual transparent staircase) and the master are just as stylish. Even the terrace, with its marble table and white-cushioned sofas, all overlooking the Duomo, is smartly done. Outside, the streets are lined with shops, bars and restaurants, and you’ll find a fair few museums and monuments within walking distance too. San Lorenzo bus stop is a one-minute walk.
