We chose Leonardo’s apartment in Florence because it was close to the train station and appreciated the convenience factor, especially since we were coming to Florence and leaving via train.
The apartment was large and spacious. However, it felt quite a bit dated than the pictures provided.
The main challenges I had with the stay was the lack of communication and cleanliness.
The host and co-hosts were slow to respond, and in some cases, didn’t respond at all. When we arrived, we were met with a rude cleaning lady who yelled at us in Italian and slammed the door in our face. Despite arranging an earlier check-in with the hosts, after this incident, there was no response from Ilaria to try to resolve the situation.
Re: cleanliness, found blood on the bedsheets the first night. It was unsightly but at least there were extra sheets in the drawer.
All in all, not the most comfortable stay but definitely a convenient location and spacious apartment.
