Luca's place is perfectly nestled between Palazzo Pitti and Piazza Santo Spirito, which are two of the best places to visit in Florence. The "other" side of the river (away from most of the main tourist attractions) is the best place to stay in this city because it is a lot quieter and less touristy than the other side of the river, but still very close walking distance to anywhere you'd want to go in the city center. The farthest we had to walk the whole trip was 20 minutes, and we did lots of sight-seeing! Luca and his associate Isabel were extremely helpful with check-in and assisting us with anything we needed. One of our bags got lost on the way to Florence, and Luca/Isabel allowed us to use their office as a drop-off location for the airline once the bag was found. Additionally, the apartment was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The wifi could have been stronger in the bedrooms, but it was very good in the living room. Luca's apartment also had functioning air conditioning, which was a HUGE help in this July heat. I could not recommend this place more highly!
