Luca's flat is exactly as shown & was a perfect home away from home! Super easy check in with Nico, even though we were an hour earlier than communicated (my bad!). Luggage was a chore minus the lack of a lift, but everything else worked very well. Everything is clean, but we're just in the habit of wearing disposable house slippers these days anyway. The kitchen was put through its paces more than a few times for some family dinners. The washing machine is fairly small, so expect to do mutiple loads for a large group. The spin cycle seemed a little off, but nothing cures damp laundry like some time on the super sunny rooftop terrace - dry in about an hour (weather permitting)! Watch the breeze with light clothing, though.
The neighbourhood is safe with a pharmacy just downstairs if you need. Lots of great food around the corner too - Il Piccolo just 3mins away is a must-try! Also just a 5-7mins straight walk down to the Market, or to the Piazza Republica (which was my favourite place at night).
The Firenze SMN train station is just a trot across the Piazza SMN, which means your day trips out to the surrounding Tuscan towns starts pretty much immediately.
At the end of a long, hot day out, Luca's flat is really something to look forward to. Will definitely recommend to friends & would stay again if we're back in Florence.
Grazie mille, Luca & Nico!
