Two of us stayed in Luca's apartment for several days in late June/early July 2013. The location of the apartment is perfectly central, and within walking distance of a number of major tourist sites, including the Uffizi, Accademia, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte de Vecchio and Duomo. It's also about a 10 - 15 minute walk to the Firenze Santa Maria Novella train station. Because it is in the heart of the old city, we slept with ear plugs to block out late night/early morning noise.

The apartment is a large and clean studio. The bathroom is spacious, there is plenty of storage for your clothes, as well as everything you would need to cook with (we did not). The bed is a large fold-out sofa bed with spring mattress, which was fine (we felt one or two springs at night). The only real problem we had was that the WiFi would not work for us. This apparently has occurred with some other guests as well; neither Luca nor Cristina were sure what caused the problem.

That being said, you really could not expect much more from this place. It is in the ideal location for those on a short visit, and it is a beautiful apartment. Cristina, the property manager, is extremely helpful and gracious - she waited for us even though we were late (train delays!), was apologetic about the WiFi, and called us a taxi when we left. We would definitely stay here again - it's great.
