Luca’s apartment was a perfect location–only a few blocks from the Duomo and the Palazzo Vecchio! Very basic, no frills, but a great spot to crash after long days of exploring and eating. It was exactly what we needed. We walked everywhere very easily and could even swing back to the apartment in the middle of the day for an extra layer or a siesta.
One note: be aware that there is quite a bit of street noise through the night. We’re both pretty sound sleepers and woke up a few times most nights we were there, especially the weekend nights.
