Luca's apartment on the Arno was in a word, FANTASTIC! First of all the location is perfect for immersing yourself into everything Firenze has to offer. All major historical sites are within walking distance and the neighborhood is alive. Especially close is the Oltrarno neighborhood across the river where we were easily able to mix with local Florentines.

The apartment itself is masterfully renovated and furnished. Luca has designed a very efficient living space that feels spacious in spite of the small size. We were impressed by the workmanship and Luca's artistic touches. Most of all we found the clothes washer in the apartment to be indispensable.

Luca himself was a very gracious and informative host, thinking of us and our experience at all times. His local recommendations and instructions are excellent and we experienced nearly every one. Bravo!

I can say that without a doubt when we return this will be our first choice.
