Nicola was a wonderful host right from the start, when he called to make sure I knew how to find the apartment (which was very easy !) and had someone meet me well before the official check in time. He welcomed me with wine and nibbles in the evening, while giving me an extensive list of local recommendations - for pizza, for ice cream, for night life, for art, for views, etcetera. Most wonderfully of all, he took me out on bicycles to a great Florentine 'local' experience of music and drinks and food in a lovely nearby park.
The flat itself is very comfortable and spacious, with everything needed for one or two people to be very comfortable: air conditioning, good bathroom and well equipped kitchen, and - best of all - a wonderful spacious terrace for that wine and evening nibbles! For me the location was perfect: set just a bit outside the absolute centre of town, it is very peaceful and feels like a real neighbourhood, but is still very close to two of the best Michelangelo sites (the Accademia and the Cappelle Medicee). And it is so easy to get everywhere on foot in Florence anyway! I would strongly recommend Nicola's apartment either for short visits or longer stays.
