Luna 36 apartment in the center of Florence

We were warmly welcomed by Andrea with a bottle of wine and a helpful orientation to the apartment and the city of Florence.We loved this apartment as a home base. It is well appointed with a grocery store and restaurants nearby that kept us well fed. The walk to all the sites was manageable and lovely.Would definitely recommend!

The apartment was clean and well decorated. The host met us at the door with a bottle of wine as a welcoming gift. He also assisted with transportation when requested. The location was perfect for our needs as the neighborhood was quiet but close enough to all the sites we wished to visit. We are very happy with our choice!

We enjoyed the residential neighborhood very much with many restaurants in walking distance as well as the supermarket and department store.

This apartment has pros and cons. The pros: Apartment is clean and spacious and the host is very kind and helpful. The cons: The listing is VERY inaccurate when it states it is in the “heart” of Florence. It is NOT. It is a €20-€25 taxi ride from the heart of Florence EACH WAY unless you want to walk about 1.1 to 1.3 MILES each way. That wouldn’t be terrible unless you walk around the Uffizi and downtown about 4 to 5 miles and then add the 2.5 miles round trip walk to get to and from “home.” The major attractions like the Duomo, Gallérie Academia, Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, Boboli Gardens, Pitti Palace are FAR from this apartment. We are reasonably fit and walked about 7 to 8 miles every day but it would have been SO much nicer if this apartment was actually IN the heart of Florence as it is advertised. We stayed 12 nights and after a week we began paying the €20 for a taxi to take us to town every day just to shorten our daily walk by a mile and a half. It was disheartening at the end of the day after touring and walking 5-7 miles to have ANOTHER 20-25 minute boring walk just to get home when we were already tired. Also, if we had been in the “heart” of Florence, it would have been really nice to break up the day by stopping into an apartment for a snack or a rest and then going out again for the evening. This apartment is WAY to far from downtown to do that. We simply missed out the evening sights and nightlife. Stay much closer to downtown or you’ll regret it.

Nice Place. Good location, but was a bit musty/Damp. Might be due to heat in Rome.

The property was exactly as described and in the pictures. It was a great place to use as our base while we toured Florence, Pisa, Lucca, and the Chianti wine region. We found great food options within walking distance, great shopping, and awesome Florence experiences. We would definitely stay there again when we visit Florence

Andrea was very kind and accommodating after we ran into an issue. Thank you so much. It was a great stay.
