Luca's apartment in Florence was the best accommodation we had during our 2 week trip through Europe. It's about a 15 walk from the main train station, so if traveling to the city by train you may want to take a taxi to arrive at the apartment, but once you're there it is an amazing location and close to everything. Great restaurants nearby, minutes to a local grocery store and a short 10 minute walk to the major tourist attractions like the Duomo. We did have some issues getting confirmation for check in but we also didn't have a phone so had to rely on email. Luca had his friend meet us at the apartment for check in and she was helpful in providing us with local recommendations. We loved Florence and would definitely stay here again!
