Niccolo's place was wonderful for our 5 night stay in Florence. Check-in and out was very easy, even after I made a huge mistake in our train's arrival time. Niccolo and his friend Carolina couldn't have been more accommodating in helping us get settled and there was even a bottle of wine waiting for us!. The apartment is the perfect size and gets lots of natural light, and the bathroom was bigger than most places we've stayed in Italy. The noise from the street might be louder than you're used to if you don't live in an urban area but it is to be expected on a busy street in a big city. location is wonderful, very short walking distance to market, train station, Duomo, Accademia and many main attractions, best price for the stay!
