It was a hot 5 days in Florence. Thankfully, Luca had a decent AC unit in the bedroom, which kept us at a reasonable temperature at night, though it was not quite powerful enough to make the entire apartment a refuge. The location of this apartment is the key feature. Right at the southern side of the Ponte Vecchio, it is a dream location. The laundry machine is a nice touch as well. Luca did not communicate with us at all while we were there, but we didn't really need anything so that worked out okay. If you are going to stay here, I suggest not coming during the hottest months. But the location is PERFECT.
