We had a great time at Nico's place! He was so kind to pick us up from the airport and take us to his home, showing us the bus stop on the way. He offered to take us on a tour in the Tuscan region but we had to decline due to scheduling. Spent 5 nights at his home and had a great time! He wasn't around much but that was fine with my girlfriend and I, as we generally keep to ourselves. He was quick to answer any questions we had, though, and had maps already waiting in our room at arrival! Bus takes about 15-20 minutes to get into the city center and runs regularly. Florence is a beautiful city and we are thankful we got to experience it from Nico's home!
