Luca was very helpful. When we arrived, my phone decided not to send or receive text messages, so I phoned Luca and he was at the flat within a couple of minutes, to let us in and show us round.

The view is every bit as amazing as we expected. The flat has a spacious bedroom and living room and a great balcony. There's also a tiny kitchen and bathroom, and a small spare bedroom with an attached toilet and shower.

Florence is small so probably anywhere near the center would be convenient, but Luca's place is certainly ideal. Ponte Vecchio is moments away, there's a great (and cheap) coffee and pastry place at the front door, and most of the main sights are 10 to 15 minutes walk away.

There were a couple of minor maintenance issues which Luca arranged to have fixed.

We loved staying there and would stay again next time.
