Our stay at Nicola’s was a wonderful way to relax and explore a more local side of Florence after we had stayed in the center (right next to Duomo) for a few days. The view out the windows/balconies is lush and charming, the place was very clean and well-kept. This would be great for a longer stay as the kitchen was well stocked and the laundry machine was so useful. The place is light and airy and only up 1.5 flights of stairs. The AC worked really well as well.
Nicola went out of his way to help us with some things like providing a WiFi hotspot when a huge lightning storm knocked out the WiFi, and helping us find a taxi driver for a specific instance. He was very communicative and professional and you can tell he cares about your stay. He also provided great restaurant recommendations! I highly recommend to stay at Nicola’s if you want a relaxing, local vibe still with easy access (walking, bus) to the rest of Florence. It’s about an easy 10-25 min walk to touristy things depending on what you want to do, and a 0 min walk to great local eateries, bars, and shops.
