I stayed at Luca's place for a long weekend in May.
We arrived late at night and had some trouble getting a cab from the airport to the city (Uber doesn't really work in Florence), but this was not an issue with Luca. He received us and explained the basics around the house. Communication was smooth and Luca responded promptly to our messages
The flat is located in a great part of town. It is very close (5 minute walk) to the main touristic attractions (Duomo etc) but the neighborhood itself is not touristic at all. There is plenty of life around, including bars, restaurants and the fantastic Mercato di Sant’Ambrogio.
The flat itself is tidy, has all the amenities one can ever wish and is really spacious. The only downside that we saw is that, since there is so much life around, it can get loud on Friday and Saturday night. Bringing earplugs is recommended.
Luca went the extra mile and gave us a list of local recommendations, and also helped us book a cab to the airport for the return flight, since without speaking Italian one can have a hard time doing so.
All in all a great city, flat and host. Would recommend!
