My friend and I were nervous about staying with a person, but there was no need! Nicola was so kind and welcoming. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and got around the city easily. He also gave us a list of restaurants that were all amazing. Additionally, we stayed long enough to get a private tour of the city. The tour ended up being one of the best things we did in Florence. He’s very knowledgeable about his city. Highly recommend!
