This is a quirky, great place in Florence with an uncommon layout with lots of space. We were a party of four, and having three bathrooms was wonderful. The bedrooms are a bit small, but not a problem because there are multiple open spaces up and down where we spent most of our time.
The location is amazing, and San Nicollo has everything you need. It is sandwiched in between the hills (Piazzalo Michelangelo) and the Arno. Great Tuscan restaurants and bars and cafes. Other direction is Ponte Vechi and and Pitti and a good super market. The Ponte alle Grazie is right out the door, and minutes from Santa Croce and the city center.
Like many stays in Florence, this is an old place and requires some patience and growth mindset. But we loved being there, would not choose otherwise if given the opportunity to do it again, and would stay again.
Do be aware that there are a bunch of fees to pay in cash when you arrive. All of this is clearly stated in the listing, but somehow still felt jarring. Just read all of the fine print so you’re not surprised.
