Nicola was the perfect host. He is a genuinely warm, generous person and very responsive to email queries. As we had a car he was very helpful in suggesting a secure and affordable car parking. He was more than helpful in providing local information be it places to eat or great places to visit. The apartment is in an excellent location only a very short walk into the main centre. The apartment was very clean and has everything you need including washing machine and clothes airer which is sometimes difficult to find in Italy. I highly recommend this apartment if staying in Florence. Thanks Nicola for making our stay so enjoyable, would have loved to stay even longer!!!
