Luca's place is situated in a great part of Florence . It seemed like we were within a 7 min walk of any attraction we wanted to go to. In fact walking was faster than taking a cab, so leave your heels at home ladies . It is right beside the Duomo. Take earplugs because the Duomo bells do ring and there is a fair amount of street noise at night that can be heard from one of the 2 bedrooms in particular. Our 23 year old son slept in the noisier room and did not have a problem. We were also told which was the noisier room the day we arrived, so that was helpful.
The apt is as advertised. it is a bit darker inside than it looks in the pictures, that may be because the weather was overcast while we were there . Also the streets are quite narrow with buildings blocking out the sun.
I put my makeup on in the living room where the lighting was better.
Luca was a great host. Someone was there to meet us at the time we had agreed on . I had a few questions during our stay regarding the apt, and Luca answered the texts very quickly and was very helpful.
The beds and pillows were very comfortable, and the apartment was vey clean.
All in all , very good value for the money it costs to rent it.
