We had a great few days in Nicola's apartment. It is a very tastefully decorated flat and was spotlessly clean when we arrived. Everything was exactly as described. I did not meet Nicola in person, but he was very helpful and quickly responded to every question and was very patient. The apartment is good for 8 people, and there were 8 of us in there, 4 grown-ups and 4 kids. If you know each other well it works well.
Nicola was also very flexible in letting us stay a few hours longer on the last day. I can definitely recommend Nicola as a host!
