Nicola is a most helpful host (and for those whose Italian is not great, he speaks English really well), incredibly undemanding and relaxed, and I feel we had a very good rapport.
His recommendations for close-by (and further away) places to eat and shop were spot on, and much appreciated - we had a fantastic lunch at Osteria Francescana!

The apartment is fab - tastefully decorated, and with very high quality gear(e.g. kitchenware).

It's located a brisk 5 minute walk from the centre (Due Torri), with a market close by in Piazza Aldrovandi, and two minutes away from the student nightlife area of Piazza Giuseppe Verdi and Via Zamboni. Take the other direction and you're quickly among some of the nicest central streets, shops and restaurants.

We had a great time here and would definitely, definitely return!
