Leonardo’s place was a fantastic find. Very well located on a quieter street, close to Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Strozzi.
Cristina greeted us on arrival and showed us into the place. She was extra helpful getting us settled in.
The space has a great historic feel with modern amenities and appliances. We were able to cook several meals without trouble. The bathroom was good sized, with the shower on the smaller side but still manageable.
We managed quite well with two circulating fans, managing to get a nice breeze going the place.
As you will no doubt read with most places in Florence that are not on the ground floor, there are steps, lots of them. This place is no exception. We did not mind them, but they were a workout.
We were out from early to late touring every day so we did not experience this directly, but we did hear other people in the building complaining of construction noise from across the narrow street during the day. They seemed to think it started around 9 am.
