Our time in Italy took us elsewhere, but it began and ended in Florence. We were glad to have Niccolò's apartment as a home-base. Niccolò is a very informative and welcoming host. The apartment was exactly like the pictures with lots of storage space. It was well-located for daytime sightseeing and nightlife. We were very comfortable. We didn't use the kitchen too much, but all the basics were there. We were very happy to use the washer after a few days of hiking on the coast.

Unsure about the transportation to and from the airport, Niccolo advised us to take a taxi from the airport and arranged for one to pick us up and bring us to the airport at the end of the trip, which were easy rides and about 25 Euros one way (there are probably cheaper ways to do this with public transportation, but, for us, it was not very straightforward). Any questions we had, Niccolò was very responsive via text (and voice, I am sure, but I prefer text). I had international service on my phone and used that, but there was an Italian mobile phone he provided with the apartment that we could use to make local calls.

We would definitely stay here again...Mille grazie, Niccolò!
