Our experience with Nicola was outstanding. He was ever so gracious throughout the months prior to our arrival to communicate with me and answer all of our needs. He even went so far to make last minute arrangements for an additional apartment for two of our friends just days before our arrival so that we would be able to be in the same general vicinity close to one another.
Nicola helped make arrangements ahead of time for numerous transfers for us as I had a large group of friends traveling with us. I cannot express how deeply I appreciated having a personal driver waiting at the Rome airport holding my name that Nicola arranged to meet us especially after the long flight. Our personal driver escorted us to the train station, helped us with our train tickets to Florence and set us in front of the Rome Police Department door at the train station to await our train and insure our safety.
We also had an amazing personal driver awaiting us at the train station as we returned from Florence to stay at Nicola's apartment and again, to pick us up and drive us to meet our ship at the port. All of this made the transfers safe, timely and beyond convenient and completely was due to Nicola's investment of time and his huge heart! Thank you, Nicola, for everything.
Nicola met us upon our arrival at his apartment in Rome with the most radiant smile and a "welcome basket" with the best wine I have ever tasted (and I don't even drink). The apartment was spotless, very modern and comfortable, and we enjoyed the central location. The only "less than positive" feedback is that if you are a light sleeper, please consider that this can be a very busy and noisy area into the late evening and early morning hours due to traffic and the central location.
Anything and everything we needed was provided for by Nicola and he even came to see us off the morning when we left the apartment. I would refer anyone going to Rome to Nicola as he is such a gentleman, professional, followed through with every detail, and I felt extremely blessed to have our paths in life cross. God bless you and your beautiful family, Nicola.
