We study Banach spaces X, which we call nice, such that any extreme operator T from a Banach space Y to X is a nice operator, that is, T∗T^*, the adjoint of T, preserves extreme points. We get several necessary conditions for being nice. The main result in the paper is the characterization of nice finite-dimensional Banach spaces.
