Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed staying at Nicola’s apartment. It is truly like a little peace of home abroad. Me and my partner had already been travelling for a couple of weeks and this place felt like a vacation from our vacation! It was private and looked out onto a lovely garden as if you weren’t even in the city. It felt very safe and secluded due to the gate. It was only about a 10-15 minute walk from a lovely strip full of bars and restaurants, and about a half hour walk to the Duomo and museums (and a simple, flat, and beautiful walk at that). The apartment is very bohemian and cozy with all the necessary amenities. Nicola was a fantastic host — not only did he stay up past midnight to welcome us after we missed our first train, but he was so accommodating of the fact that we were taking a late train out of the city, letting us stay into the evening. One of my favourite stays on this trip.
