I booked this apartment rather last minute and totally lucked out. I know the San Niccolo neighborhood well because I lived in Florence for many years- it's super fun, but noisy at night. YOU DO NOT HEAR A THING in this apartment. The bedroom is so quiet! The front windows that face the street are double glazed and there are two sets of them. I am a very light sleeper and I slept so well. The location is top notch...can't be better. It's spacious, stylish, and has a fully equipped kitchen, which was convenient when we felt like staying in and cooking dinner. My husband and I were greeted by Guido and his wife, who were both delightful. Very friendly and helpful hosts. He even gifted us a couple of bottles of the wine he makes himself (wonderful). I highly recommend this apartment!
