The apartment is lovely and the bed proved comfortable after a day of sightseeing. Our check in was great and Lucia was able to accommodate an early arrival. We received some local recommendations that we certainly attempted to follow up with, in the time allowed by our visit. Beware that the streets are rough on the wheels of luggage. We did not overpack and traveled with smaller luggage, but we witnessed several instance of damaged bags. The location of Lucia’s apartment is ideal. We were close to the train station, markets and shopping. Another note of care, the noise in the streets below carry up, very well. I believe this is for most/all of Florence. It is a beautiful city and there is simply stone everywhere and it just carries sound, period. Plan for it, no matter where you stay in beautiful Italy.
