Nico's place is one of the best Airbnb places I have stayed in. The apartment is just great. The pictures don't do it justice. It was super clean as well. It is within about a 15 minute walking distance to the old city but there is public transit available and if you take the hop on hop off bus tour of the city, there is a stop that brings you within an easy 5 minute walk back to the accommodation. There are restaurants and a grocery store that are very close. The apartment has nice amenities and is really quite spacious. Nico is a wonderful host - very easy to get along with. His communications were timely and his command of the English language is great but he also speaks other languages as well. We stayed 4 nights so we took advantage of his walking tour of Florence. He took us places and pointed out things we would have missed on our own. We also booked three day trips with him. If you are looking for an outdoor experience and to explore the small villages in the surrounding area around Florence, don't hesitate to book with him. He is a wealth of knowledge. As a special bonus you get to meet Spina. She's great. :) Would stay here again in a heartbeat if I return to Florence. Thanks Nico for a great stay.
