Niccolo's apartment is on the south side of the Arno, approx 10 minutes from the Ponte Vecchio. It is nestled under the Piazzale Michelangelo, so close that part of the old boundary wall of the city creates a lovely atmosphere on a moonlight night from the back window.
It is within easy reach of all the interesting sights of Florence, yet if you want to relax in one of it's more peaceful quarters there are plenty of lovely local restaurants right outside the door. It's also a huge benefit that your next door neighbour is the local patisserie, that supplies wonder pastries and coffee. This can be a great start to a day of exploring and eaten at your own breakfast table!
Niccolo himself is a very attentive host, he called to make cure all was good during our stay and resolved the one query we has within half an hour.
In short I would have no hesitation in recommending his apartment to anyone who wishes for a thoroughly relaxing base for their stay in Firenze.
