If you are planning on going to florence you should definitely stay here. Niccolo's mother paola welcomed us and she was so friendly and knowledgable even showing us on a map where to get the best gelato and what buses will get us to the best spots.
The apartment itself is beautiful full of italian charm and the 2 terraces are what did it for us. We would go sightseeing early in the morning when it was quiet (florence centre is about 25 minute walk) and then come back and sunbathe on the terrace when the midday heat picked up. Then later on in the evening cook a nice meal and enjoy the views with a glass of wine, maybe even the occasional lightning storm in the distant hills.
Overall we had an amazing time in florence and we hope to come back one day.
