Nicola's apartment is in a perfect location for exploring Florence. It is within walking distance of all parts of this beautiful city. Nicola has furnished his apartment with both taste and function as priorities. Everything we need was there, including a very new washing machine. Greatly appreciated. Despite being in a central location the apartment was very quiet when we visited. Nicola is a superb host. He responded immediately to our questions and was of great assistance when we needed help with taxi transport on our departure. We sadly didn't meet Nicola as he was so kind to us however his friend Nicolo met us and gave us a warm and helpful welcome. A lovely touch were the traditional biscuits on our arrival. They didn't last long! Nicola's personal guide book to Florence is wonderful. We found many places not in the tourist brochures. We loved our stay in Nicola's apartment and recommend it highly. Thank you Nicola for your kindness to us. Best wishes from Yvonne and David visiting from Australia.
