We took the train from Rome to Florence and arrived Florence before check-in. Luca was kind enough to let us store the luggage at the key office so that we can explore around while waiting for the apartment to be ready. Luca's place is very close to Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (~7min walk) and the apartment is very spacious. The building is old-fashioned (what you should expect in center Florence). The walkway to the apartment is dark, but the apartment is very bright and has sunshine all way through. Each bedroom has window AC, and it is necessary to spend a comfortable night at Florence in summer. The bathroom is not very modern, but it is good enough for taking shower. There is some noise from the street during night, but it is expected given the central location of the place. Overall we are positive about the experience at Luca's place.
