It was a nice rustic apartment, just like explained. Grocery store and markets nearby a plus. Very convenient to all sites and felt safe. The stairs were a bit for me because my bags were heavy but in all just fine. The couch was comfortable but front was sagging so might need replacing in future but I truly enjoyed my stay. I would recommend it, very good for the price!

Florence

A very charming, spacious, well appointed and clean apartment walking distance from major attractions. It was absolutely perfect. Just a heads up for future guests: lots of stairs to climb to the second floor…pack light! Balcony is delightful for a glass of wine in the evening. WIFI is good in the apartment but sketchy on the street until you get to the piazza 2 blocks away. If you’re using google maps to route your day’s “walkabout”, you might lose it and have to reboot it. Loved the apartment and would highly recommend it.

Rien de négatif sur l’appartement sauf un manque de rangement difficilement explicable compte tenu de la dimension de l’appartement. Par contre, les directives données par la propriétaire pour l’accès n’étaient pas claires et lorsqu’on a demandé des explications, elle a répondu 2 jours plus tard. Elle ne semble pas intéressé e un

Great Apartment

This apartment was very charming and good sized, with great wood floors, a balcony sitting area and a small, but very well supplied kitchen which was so great to be able to make a meal in. The location was just outside of the central area but close to everything. Some things to consider - it is on the third floor with no elevator. It is also next to Santa Croce church which meant many bells from the church during the day and late night revelers walking down the street at night under the bedroom window. Rosalba was a great host and easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed our stay.

Home from home in a fantastic location

This was a perfect place to stay. Our host was extremely responsive to messages we sent her and was very helpful in accommodating our check-in needs. There were loads of kitchen utensils etc. for self-catering and having a dishwasher and washing machine was a bonus! The apartment was much more spacious than we expected and was tastefully and authentically furnished. The location was excellent; the apartment was a short walking distance to all the main attractions the minute you walked out the door. Highly recommend this place!

Very Boho with wooden beams and exposed ceiling tiles. Spacious enough for two people but the kitchen and bathroom is very small so four adults (especially if tall) would be falling over each other. The small terrace in the roof is accessed. From

Beautiful, spacious apartment in the centre of Florence

Overall, this apartment exceeded all of our expectations. The apartment was spacious with a living space (2 couches and 1 of which is a pull out), kitchen, balcony and bedroom. The kitchen had a full fridge, dishwasher, sink, small table, and met all our needs. The bathroom was spacious and clean. Well functioning air conditioning. The check in and out process was easy and the host was responsive. The location was amazing, walkable to the train station and the rest of Florence. The apartment is even more beautiful in person than the pictures and I would certainly return and recommend this place to anyone visiting.

Living in Florence

We stayed at lovely Casa Nicola for three weeks, as we wanted to feel like we were living in Italy. It was comfortable and clean, and in a perfect location: everything we wanted to do or see was 20 minutes or less or walking from the apartment, including the Santa Maria Novella train station, which allowed us to side trips to Venice, Pisa, Rome, and Pompeii. The wonderful Vivoli gelato shop is a 5 minute walk, and the wonderful Scuola del Cuoio, which all the guidebooks say is a must visit, is directly across the street from the entrance. We were able to cook a few meals with local ingredients in the kitchen, and did laundry several times. I would definitely stay here again. There is no elevator, but walking up the steps balanced out all the gelato we ate!
