Nicola was a great host. He and Spina picked us up at the train station (not even the main termini) and made us feel at home. He shared so much about Florence and the sights around Tuscany. The room was large and we felt at home in his place. Two of the highlights of Florence was Nicola taking us to Fiesole and out for a night picnic, showing us the great views of Florence and area from the hillside. Nicola's place is a short bus ride from the old city and allowed us to see outside the tourist area. Thank you Nicola for everything!
