Luca (and his friends/assistants) were incredibly welcoming and were easy to be in contact with. My train was an hour late getting to Florence and we texted back and forth with no trouble about my late arrival. They couldn't have been nicer.

The apartment is fantastic - completely as advertised. The view is spectacular, and the place is worth the price for this alone. But it's also in a great location for other things: a market directly across the street, as well as amazing gelato (Strega Nonas). It's a 1 min. walk to the Ponte Vecchio and a 10 min walk to the Duomo.

The apt. itself was clean and comfortable, we really enjoyed out stay.
