Luciano's apartment was as advertised, right next to Santa Croce. It is roughly a 15-20 minute walk to the Duomo or to Piazzale Michelangelo. Piazzale Michelangelo is definitely a great place to check out once the sun sets. There are a ton of restaurants and bars in the area. I would suggest Baldovino Bistrot if you're looking for a good restaurant that's right next to the apartment. We enjoyed our short time in Florence!
