Nico's place was perfect. Located in the historic city, and a 10-min walk to the Duomo, it was very convenient for sightseeing. Also close to a grocery store and the San Ambrogio market, which made it very convenient to buy food to prepare at home. It was very clean and well outfitted -- my two kids and I had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Nico was an extremely gracious host -- he picked us up at the train station and dropped us off there too, and offered us a fantastic insider's tour of Florence. It made the city come alive for us. I highly recommend his Siena/San Gemignano and Cinque Terre Tours too. He's a fantastic guide. We'll miss him and his fabulous city!
