We had a fantastic time in Florence at Duccio's apartment and it was the perfect base. The Duomo is literally at the end of his street but the street itself is full of less touristy good little restaurants that were perfect to eat in. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and had very efficient air conditioning in all the rooms which was critical as there was a heatwave whilst we stayed. Everything worked perfectly in the apartment and it was the perfect refuge from the Florentine heat. Duccio made us feel very welcome and facilitated our arrival with very precise instructions etc as to how to find it. We would definitely stay there again. You could not get a better location.
