What a perfectly located apartment in Florence. We have been many times to Florence, staying in hotels and apartments but this tops them all! The large shower and bathroom was awesome and the A/C was phenomenal and an unexpected delight!Everything anyone would need is right here. A few nights we had wine and fresh pasta, from the nearby local grocery, and enjoyed dinner in our "home away from home".Our flight was delayed by hours and we stayed in touch with Lucia, who was waiting at the apartment when we finally arrived.Lucia and Walter were always available whenever we had a question or needed assistance. They were very very easy to communicate with before and during our 6 day stay. What a great place for enjoying Florence!Thank you Lucia!!
