We had a marvellous two weeks in Florence and a wonderful stay with Nico and his dog, Spina, that began with the two of them meeting us at the railway station after our journey from Zurich. That took all the stress out of being in a strange city and we are very grateful to Nico for doing that. Nico is well-organised, thorough, thoughtful and generous and full of excellent suggestions for things to do and places to visit. The trips he offers for a very reasonable cost are a must-do. His apartment is well-appointed, clean and tidy, the room spacious and comfortable. He is located a very short walk from the bus terminus that will have you into Piazza San Marco in about 15 minutes and to Florence's central (Firenza SMN) railway station in under 25 minutes. The neighbourhood is quiet with ample food establishments and two supermarkets in easy walking distance. If you are visiting Florence, we would strongly recommend a stay with Nico and Spina. He truly is a superhost.
