Lucia's apartment was an okay experience and decent home base for a visit to Florence, especially as we needed a safe place to park our car. 30 minute walk downtown (the bus seemed to come infrequently, so we just walked).
Some positives: cozy atmosphere, very comfortable bed, excellent wifi, thoughtful interior lighting, car parking, quiet surroundings and nice outdoor space.

However, the apartment definitely shows some wear and could use a new interior paint job. Most items in the kitchen had to be cleaned before we could use them and there is a mold problem in the bathroom, particularly the shower. As long term travelers we have stayed in many airbnbs (over 30 in the last 3 months alone)...and this was the most unappealing bathroom we've experienced. With a little TLC, this apartment will again match its pictures.

We were greeted by Lucia's son for check-in, and Lucia helped us briefly with the cook-top. Other than that, the hosts were very hands-off.
