We were welcomed by Nicola's lovely mother, Patrizia. She made us feel very welcome and helped us out when we needed it. We were shown around in Florence by Nicola, who gave us a lot of interesting information about the city's history and other things. The apartment itself is perfect for a stay in Florence: it's very clean and tidy, very spacious, it has an excellent location (close to the city, to the bus stops and to the secondary station), but it's also very quiet since it's not located in the real center of the busy city. This all made our stay in Florence perfect. We will definitely stay here again when we decide to come back to this beautiful city!
