We felt privileged to stay at Rolando's beautiful apartment in a quiet area of Florence. The accommodation was elegant and spacious and it provided us with a wonderful break from the tourist crowds when we needed it. We plan to return one day. Thank you, Rolando, for your help and for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home.
A tip for others visiting: we walked to the apartment from the main station on arrival but it took a us some time. Rolando told us that both the 6A or 6B bus on the opposite side of the road to the station go to 'Leopardi'.
