Can accommodate parents with two young kids. Beware of noise levels into the night (earplugs strongly recommended) and difficulty bringing heavy bags up and down narrow stairway, which is typical of most flats in central Florence. Was a blessing having Christmas service at my favorite church in Florence just downstairs and being walking distance to all the shopping and action the town has to offer. ##### G V.

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. ##### Shanté x. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra B.

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. ##### Sandra B.

We just got back from a week at this unit. Rosalba is a fantastic host. Check in was easy. Any communication during our stay was addressed promptly. The location is wonderful. Near all the action, but on a quiet side street. Church bells abound!!! We will certainly be telling our family and friends. The only two items that caught our attention were a narrow bathtub (we are larger) and no safe. Aside from that, we felt right at home and loved it! ##### Michael J.

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. ##### Erica Z.

Amazing location within walking distance of all the places we wanted to go but away from busy tourist streets. Other reviewers complained of street noise and there is some, we just used a white noise app on our phones and it wasn't a big deal. Loved having a washing machine and clothes line as this was day 6 of a 15 day trip and we could wash all our clothes with the detergent we brought. Great kitchen to cook our own meals. We were not aware that we needed to provide our own toilet paper once the complimentary role was spent but there is a grocery store a block away. Apartment was very clean and beds were firm but comfortable for us. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Elaine L. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer C. Jul 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Jennifer C. Stayed 21 nights in Jun 2024
