We had a wonderful stay at Leonardo's. It was a bit tricky to find at first because we didnt print out the map that Leonardo provided, but it was our own fault. The location was right in the heart on Florence next to all of the piazzas and churches and all the fashion shops. That was just fantastic. We also didn't expect anything, but one room in an apartment, however Leonardo is running a full hostel with many rooms and even a reception! That was very cool and convenient. Leonardo himself is very friendly and extremely knowledgable about Florence. He gave us a free map and even marked all of the sights and good places to eat. He also was kind enough to agree to mail my postcards after we left. That was very sweet of him! The room was large, comfy and clean. We couldn't have asked for more! If you want to save money, but still have a very nice stay in Florence, I definitely urge you to stay at Leonardo's. We were only there for one night, but we are definitely coming back for a longer stay next time we are in Italy.
