My husband and I spent 7 days in Florence. Nico's mother greeted us upon our arrival and made sure we had everything we needed as well as providing information/tips for getting around the city. The apartment was clean, comfortable and conveniently located to a large market and 15 mins. from the Duomo. We also scheduled 3 tours with Nico to visit the Tuscany villages of Sienna, Pisa, Lucca, and Assisi. We had a great time and highly recommend staying at Nico's apartment .
