Leo's place is quirky and full of character, and the layout of the apartment means you have almost an entire section to yourself, including the bedroom and the bathroom in the basement.
Leo was really accommodating about check in and check out times, which felt quite different from some other Airbnb experiences on the same trip. He recommended the nearby BBQ Trattotia where we had a great meal, and there was a real community vibe in the area, which was a contrast to the beautiful but very touristy nature of central Florence.
One thing to note is that the basement bathroom did need a bit of TLC: the hot water was inconsistent and IT did smell quite damp. The bedroom also got quite hot at night (in early June) so not ideal for those used to AC.
It was no more than 20 mins walk the Ponte Vecchio, very near the Boboli Gardens, and right by the historic city walls. For an affordable short stay to explore Florence, it's worth considering.
