Nico’s apartment was a great spot for visiting Firenze for a week. The bed is comfortable and his apartment was clean, modern and tastefully decorated. Everything was better than I had envisioned. I loved the photos of Italy in the room and everything was clean and perfect. He is native to the city and knows the best (and affordable) food and wine spots, and he drove me around in the vineyard/olive orchard areas of Tuscany even though it was during a rare snowy and cold day in the area. His apartment is conveniently close to a bus to go everywhere in the city or to the train station. It is within walking distance of grocery stores, laundrymat, coffee bar, bakery, pizzeria, gelato, and a running path along the river. Beautiful experience! I highly recommend him as both a host and as a tour guide.
