Nicola is just as wonderful a host as everyone said in the reviews. We had everything we needed with lots of hints of places to eat, where to do laundry (only a 7 min walk away), things to do, etc. We stayed 4 nights so got a free walking tour which turned out to be a trip to Fiesole for an amazing view of Florence and the best gelato we had on our trip plus walking around Florence. The location of the apt in Florence is great (we walked everywhere) and it is spacious, comfortable, clean, and quiet. We would definitely stay at Nico's again.
