We had a fantastic stay in Niccolo's apartment and would recommend for anybody looking for basic but comfortable and convenient base in Florence. The pictures and descriptions are all accurate. You get a large and comfortable living room downstairs. The upstairs bedroom is a loft setup... very comfortable bed but mind the low ceiling. We barely used the kitchen which has a very spacious and cozy sitting area but a slightly cramped cooking area. The location is very convenient. All the major sights and museums are easy walking distance and there are a lot of good restaurants and fun bars on the block / in the immediate area. Some reviewers complained about street noise but we barely noticed... turn the fan on in the bedroom and you won't have any problems sleeping. Most important, all communications with Niccolo and his friend that checked us in were very prompt and friendly. Niccolo was a perfect host who clearly cared that we were having a good stay. This place was wonderful and an incredible value. Would highly recommend!
