I spent almost four months at Luca's while researching in Florence. Luca's place is in a great location for exploring the city by foot as well as easy access to public transportation, and just a short walk to the train station. The apartment is well appointed and has great high ceilings. Additionally, during the hot months the air conditioning was a life-saver as the heat can get pretty unbearable in the city. It's a great spot if your staying just a few days or basing out of Florence while exploring the rest of the region. I didn't have any issues during the four month's I was there, but Luca was a great host and communication was always quick and easy.
