We unfortunately never met Nicola, because he was away for a trip (which is a shame, considering how lovely he is in messages and judging from all the reviews here) - but we had the lovely opportunity to meet his parents, who were incredibly helpful, kind and welcoming to us :) Nicola's space is immaculately clean and big, and is only a 10-15 walk away from the Duomo - and yet still in a nice and quiet neighbourhood. We can't recommend the place enough, thanks Nicola and family, take care!
