Luciano's apartment is absolutely perfect. We loved everything about it. It is in a perfect location across the river from the really touristy part of Florence, but easy to get to by foot or by bus, but also this side of the river has lovely restaurants and bars just a short walk from the apartment, again without feeling too touristy.
Luciano provided everything we might need to make our stay really feel home from home. We arrived much later than expected due to an accident on the road, and Luciano had left pasta, sauce, a bottle of chilled wine, cold drinks for the kids etc, so we could eat and drink after a long journey. He also kindly drove us to the parking place (about 5 mins drive away) and brought us back. Luciano provided plenty of towels, and hairdryer, soap etc for the bathroom and coffee, teabags, olive oil etc for the kitchen, as I say it really made us feel at home.
Luciano used google translate on his iPad so there was no trouble with communication even though we spoke very little Italian.
I can't recommend this apartment enough and Luciano was the perfect host, really making our stay special.
