Leonardo and Annalisa's apartment in Florence is gorgeous. It's centrally located and less than a ten minutes walk from both the train station as well as the main tourist sites. It is also opposite the Mercato, which is full of amazing food and drink at reasonable prices and open until midnight. It is a noisy neighbourhood but we enjoyed the buzz of the area.

The apartment is well appointed and spotless with a very comfy bed and well equipped kitchen, if needed. There are stairs to climb but nothing to worry about unless you physically cannot use stairs as there is no alternative. An extra towel per person would have been great but that is our only criticism.

Leonardo was very welcoming, he booked restaurants for our stay, gave us some recommendations, was on hand if we needed anything and also advised us to use the bus from Pisa as opposed to the train, which was great advice. Check in isn't until 6pm, they got us in for 5:30pm but I guess something to think about.

All in all we had an incredible three nights in Florence, we would thoroughly recommend this apartment and hope to stay again soon!
