If you are going to Florence, you definitely want to stay here. It is located about a 10 minute walk from the Duomo, which is close to everything. Nicco was an absolute awesome host, the apartment is very comfortable for 4, with 2 bedrooms. Nicco also offers a tour of Florence - which takes you around to places off the beaten path and helps you to learn more about the culture. He also does a great job of leaving directions for anything you would need - laundry, food, etc. In addition, he does paid guided tours - we took the ones to Lucca/Pisa and Cinque Terre. They were both pretty educational and he was awesome with giving us a lot of background and showing us areas we wouldn't normally see. We especially loved the Cinque Terre tour as we were walking among the grapes above the villages and then down for lunch and maybe some wine... All around great time, would highly recommend Nicco and Spina (his dog). Would definitely stay there again!
