Duccio was an excellent host! Met us promptly after our train arrived and helped bring the luggage inside. The apartment is well styled and extremely clean! Just off the main streets in Florence in a quiet neighborhood. Felt safe walking to and from each day and night. A half mile or so walk to the Duomo and train station. Also, about a half mile from our new favorite gelato/dessert shop - I Gelato del Bondi. Duccio gave us great suggestions and was always very quick to respond. For an authentic, local feel for your stay, choose this apartment.
