Our stay in Florence was FANTASTICO! Leonardo was there to greet us in his friendly but professional way and helped us with our bags up to our penthouse nest. It is a 62 step climb that is well worth it!

The apartment is beautifully decorated...which Leonardo admitted was Annalisa's work. It has old world thick walls with windows opening onto a central courtyard which creates a quiet space despite the bustling night life below. Inside it has all the new world amenities in the kitchen and bath, including an induction stove! Everything is spotlessly clean.

My friend enjoyed the tempurpedic bed and had some of the best sleeps of her life, while I slept in the loft which was comfortable and private for me who likes to read late in the night.

The location is perfect. 10 minutes to the train station or to the duomo. If you are a foodie, it is especially perfect. Tsa Tsa right outside our door was lined up every night...of course we managed to get in without lining up. On our last night we even spotted Leonardo and Annalisa eating there. We enjoyed Mario's too, little restaurants on Faenza . They are all right there.

In short, we were happy with our stay and appreciate the effort Leonardo and Annalisa take to keep the apartment in tip top shape. They are lovely, relaxed hosts who made us feel welcome. We would recommend them and their apartment to anyone.

Although there were just two of us, I think it would work for families too. I am sure children would love the loft.
