Nicola is the host you wish for when you come to Florence. He is very welcoming, helpful and supporting. He even picked us up at the railway station and gave us a walking tour through the city, which was very pleasant and interesting, especially because of the background information Nicola gave us.
Nicolas apartment is very cozy, tidy and clean. You have to take the bus to get to the city, but when you get back you are lucky to be in a quiet neighborhood.
In general it was a pleasure staying with Nicola and it is highly recommended!!
