❤️ Heart and soul of Florence could not better describe this incredible apartment that was perfect in every way and exceeded our expectations. My friend and I spent 11 glorious days exploring this magnificent city and returning to our apartment every evening, situated in a prime location steps away from the stunning Santa Croce Basilica which is a must to visit, felt like coming home. Most nights we stopped at a small bar around the corner for an Apérol Spritz and a beautiful view of Santa Croce. The famous Vivoli Gelateria is minutes away as well as Gelateria dei Neri which was excellent! Leonardo is the consummate Super Host. From the first time we connected he was extremely responsive and generous to share his passion for his city. He greeted us personally and took the time to explain everything we needed to know about his apartment, tastefully and beautifully decorated and even more charming than in the photos, not to mention spotless. The breakfast items, nuts, fruit, water and bottle of wine were such a nice touch. The rooms are incredibly beautiful and spacious as is the bathroom that has a great shower. The additional 1/2 bathroom was a plus. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped and the living/dining area so cozy and comfortable. Florence is not that big of a city and we were so well situated to be able to walk absolutely everywhere. The apartment is located on a small street, on the second floor of a beautiful and very well-maintained building. I highly recommend Leonardo's apartment and hope to return one day! Grazie mille Leonardo, your hospitality and exceptional apartment contributed our memorable experience visiting your magnificent city!
