Luciano's place is amazing! It's worth climbing all those stairs to have the loft apartment! Plus, you can eat more gelato that way! Seriously, this apartment has everything you need-- and more! It's simply and stylishly decorated, and comes with extras that help make your stay even better. For example, Luciano included a bottle of water and a bottle of wine in the fridge which we thoroughly enjoyed. There was also a little olive oil and vinegar and a few spices that we used to make a fresh salad dressing. It was so nice to be able to take advantage of the kitchen without having to buy every single item. Luciano recommended a tour guide--Francesca Lo Re--who gave us a wonderful walking tour of the city. (We were lucky she was able to squeeze us in, but I suggest you ask Luciano for her contact information before you go, especially as the tourist season gets into high gear!). Luciano will answer all your questions about the City, including the best way to get to and from the airport, where to eat, what to visit, etc. Tip: pre-book "Skip the Line" tickets to the Uffizio before you go! Also, to the Galleria Dell'Academia if you want to see the David. I highly recommend walking up to the piazza Michelangelo for a beautiful view of the City, especially at sunset, and stop at the Rose Garden along the way, too!
