What an apartment, what a location, what a host.
Luca was superb. His communication was excellent. We were driving into Florence and were going to park some 20 minutes away and walk into town with our bags. Luca suggested an alternative garage, 2 minutes from his apartment (Garage Michelangelo €44 for 2 days). We were so glad we took his suggestion. The weather travelling in to Florence was horrendous which made having a local garage so pleasing.
Luca was there to meet us at the apartment, which is in the shadow of il Duomo. I kid you not. From the kitchen window you can see the great dome - we were that close. We arrived on our anniversary and Luca suggested a restaurant (Boccadarno). In fact, as he was friendly with the owners, he booked it for us. We arrived to a complimentary bottle of Prosecco and a lovely meal.
The apartment is spacious, modern and very clean. Luca is a lovely man and great host. We were a party of six (3 adults, 3 children) and the apartment accommodated us easily. We will definitely come back and explore more of Florence and a large reason for that is the hugely enjoyable first experience of Florence.
Thanks again Luca.
