A wonderful stay at Leonardo’s place. Leonardo is such a gracious and helpful host, and his place is perfectly located near Santa Croce, in the heart of the beautiful city of Florence.
We were late arriving after a delayed flight and with phones dead we were unable to warn Leonardo. He nonetheless met us with a beaming smile and a warm welcome, starting the stay off perfectly. This impression was continued with nice touches like a little breakfast for us to have the next morning, and a bottle of wine, as well.
The home was very spacious and clean, and even with heavy luggage and gear for our two year old, the steps were no problem at all.
As for location, it seemed that everything we wanted to do or see, or anywhere we wanted to eat, was within 15 minutes or less. A great brunch place was just around the corner (Cafe Vespa) and many other amenities and conveniences were quite close, as well.
We didn’t cook (too many restaurants to try!), so can’t speak to the cooking amenities, but it seemed to be well set up. The shower and main bathroom was quite nice, and there is also another small half-bathroom, as well.
It is a place we would definitely recommend!
