Luciano’s place is very nice and full of character! There is plenty of space and it is very well decorated. Check in was easy and Luciano’s assistant helped us find some great restaurants and cafes right near by. Not only that, but the apartment was steps away from the Uffizi and only 5 minutes from the river, absolutely great location.
The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is for 3 reasons: the apartment is up 4 flights of steep stairs, which we were not expecting and made hauling our luggage up an ordeal. The street was very loud, probably because we were there over Christmas, but we could hear sirens, church bells, and loud groups walking by, despite being 4 stories up. Finally, we had a power outage in the apartment our last night and were unable to get in touch with Luciano, who was our only contact. This left us in the dark with no heat, plumbing, or WiFi and was quite unpleasant. However, these issues are quite minor and I’m sure some were one time events, thus 4/5 rather than 3/5 or 5/5.
