Nycolas and Veronica were perfect hosts. The apartment was in a very central location particularly since Florence is so small. It was a 5min walk to the Duomo, 15min to the Uffizi. The apartment is located half a block away from the main produce market of florence and during the day the street fills up with vendors of all sorts (though mainly non-food goods). If you're looking for a monastic setting this is not it. It is right in the heart of the activity, but once you get up to the apartment it's quite quiet. It also has a beautiful covered terrace which was great to relax on and have some wine after a long day of sightseeing. Also the rooms were very comfortable, clean and well kept and the showers (very important to me) were hot and had good pressure. There is also a kitchen and fridge, which came in handy if you get tired of eating out for every meal of the day.

My partner and I had booked the single room to save money on our trip but Veronica upgraded us to the double (which has a much appreciated air conditioner) for no extra charge, and let us store our bags there after we checked out so we could get in another day of sightseeing before we caught our bus to Siena.

Would definitely stay again!
