The room was exactly as pictured. It is conveniently located and the host is a wealth of knowledge and recommendations.Two issues marred our stay. First of all was the water in the shower. It moves constantly from cold to hot and back again. And you either get too hot to avoid unpleasantly cool water or the opposite.The second issue was the lack of natural light. There is a garden but it in turn is often dim. A massive wall stands at its back (the wall of the Boboli gardens I suspect ). Whatever the cause the suite is always dim if you don't turn in the lights.

Thanks so much for your review. I'm sorry you had issues with the water temperature in the shower; this is new (or at least no-one has mentioned it before now), so we will look into it asap.
As for the light in the apartment... we are on the lower floor of a typical old Florentine apartment building surrounded by the kind of typical tall buildings that characterize central Florence; many apartments in our city centre are a bit dark! The wall at the back is the La Specola natural history museum; next to it is Galileo's original observatory. All our rooms have windows and/or a door (which is quite unusual), and all but one (the bathroom) look onto the small walled garden. This gets overhead sun part of the day and is in shade for the rest; the shade is a huge plus when it is 40 degrees outside. If you want lots of natural light in Florence, it's best to book an apartment on the upper floor of a building.
The space felt like a home for while we were there. We will definitely consider staying there again if we are in Florence. The equipment for laundry was great and made it easier to have a long trip in Italy.
This was a good stay for us as a couple. The property was accurately represented in the listing. Great location for walking to all the places we wanted to go.

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay Jon - hope to have you back one day!
"Casa Nicky" provided a perfect holiday, ideally situated in the centre of the city yet with a secluded and peaceful back garden just underneath Galileo's observatory. We loved the sonorous bells of the city and the chance to cook in the well-appointed kitchen using the wonderful fresh produce available. It is a very comfortable apartment and we hope very much to return soon to continue our exploration of Florence and its breath-taking beauties. Nicky herself was a very helpful and hospitable host.
Our stay was wonderful. We felt perfectly at home and loved the location. We loved that we were within walking distance to pretty much everything - groceries, restaurants, city center, tourist attractions.

It was a pleasure to host you and I look forward to welcoming you back one day!
Perfect little apartment tucked away on a quiet road a 5 minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio. Nicky was amazing throughout the check in process and her food recommendations were top tier. Will definitely be returning and recommending!
We loved the location! Nicky and her restaurant recommendations were the very best. She was also available for any questions. We would stay with her again!
Fabulous stay with peaceful private patio. This apartment was excellent for my friend and I on a girls trip and would be great for a couple. Very comfortable bed in a loft style bedroom. Closet space and bathroom on the main level but that worked just fine. I flight of stairs up to the entry. The back patio was a wonderful feature of this apartment. A sunny quiet spot with nothing to be heard but bird song and church bells. I chose this side of the river for our stay to be someplace different and we enjoyed it. We walked everywhere in Florence except to and from the train station. Had memorable local experience picking up pizza down the street late at night. A great stay!

Nice location
Nice location and mostly quiet after 10 pm. Interior was a little basic but nice to have a little apartment
This property was a clean, updated property in a great location near Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens. Short walk from Ponte Vecchia and other great sites.
Nikki was incredibly helpful and the location was perfect. Just a few minutes walk from all the action but on a quiet street. Would definitely stay there again!
Nicky was a fabulous hostess and her clean, well-situated apartment enabled us to walk all around Florence effortlessly. We would stay here again without a doubt! Great AC, too.
