This apartment is in an excellent location, walking distance to the best of Florence's sites. The view of the Duomo from the balcony is wonderful, and the view out the window (no Duomo view) is charmingly Italian. The room feels spacious, and is well laid out. The wood floor and high ceiling give an appealing look. The kitchen is adequately equipped for general cooking. Luca was a great host, quick to respond, and checked in with us to see that we had what we needed. A couple things to note: the hot water heater is small, with just enough for one shower, and slow to recover. By turning the pressure down we could get two quick showers out of a tank. The hot water tank is over the sink, and the cabinet enclosing it sticks out farther than normal, making the sink awkward to use. For such a great location these were small sacrifices.
