Nico and Spina both made us feel very welcome in their home. It was a lovely room, and as described, the high ceilings made it feel very spacious and airy. Our bed was comfortable and the whole apartment was spotlessly clean. Nico's neighbourhood had a great atmosphere, we spent a couple of evenings in the nearby park where the locals seemed to gather regularly, even having birthday parties on the picnic tables! There were plenty of local shops for you to purchase food and drink from including a couple of supermarkets. Nico was very helpful throughout our stay and couldn't do enough to ensure we were okay, on our last day he even drove us to the main train station for our onward journey. Spina is a great dog, lots of fun and really friendly! We loved her. There is a bus stop a short walk away so you can easily travel into the centre of Florence with ease. Food and drink is much cheaper in Nico's neighbourhood than in the centre, so be sure to stock up with goodies before you travel into town! All in all we had a great time and would definitely recommend this apartment to anybody visiting Florence. Thank you Nico and Spina!
