There’s plenty to talk about when it comes to Meringue, but let’s start with the location. To say it’s in the thick of things is an understatement – the station is five minutes away, Piazza della Repubblica six, and the Duomo just two. It’s a magical spot. There’s also the terrace, which is almost as big as the rest of the flat. Without this extra space, it might feel like the apartment was a little cramped but upon opening the doors to the outside, it becomes clear that this is the real communal area of the flat.

Home truths
There is a lift up to the flat, but it was out of order when we arrived, so until it's fixed you'll have to take the stairs
The access to the terrace is only though the master bedroom

The mezzanine has a low ceiling, and isn't completely separated from the living room below
Two people can sleep on a sofa bed in the living room, but they wouldn't have much privacy

About Duomo
The most central and the most touristy neighbourhood – Duomo is likely to be more suitable for a short stay. If you don’t mind the heavy footfall, the area is unbeatable for proximity to the city’s most popular tourist destinations. The Duomo Cathedral, the Uffizi Gallery, and the Palazzo Vecchio are all a genuine stone’s throw away. Home to some of the city’s most famous historic squares, this area is...
