We went as a big group of 9 women to stay in Florence. Both Leonardo and Steffano were amazing hosts! Very very helpful, they provided us with advice on places to go/visit/eat. My mom, who was with me, is a Housekeeping Manager with over 20 years of experience in luxury 5* hotels had said that hotel rooms are not as clean as the apartment we were staying in! Similarly, I've worked in hotels and can vouch for the cleanliness- extremely exceedingly clean !
All of us were really really happy with our stay, the flat is like a mini-museum, it is huge and absolutely gorgeous! It has multiple balconies, one of them is by the kitchen with a little chair and table so it great for the gals that wanted to smoke.
The train station is only 15 minutes walk and the city is not big so mostly we walked everywhere. One of the ladies with us had a bad knee so she sometimes took the bus (bus stop is just outside the flat), but even she most times would still walk with us as everything is really close. Was very comfortable that the supermarket is about 3 minutes walk, just around the corner and a really nice cafe as well (where all the locals went).
Beds were really comfortable, linen and towels clean, glassware/kitchen equipment- all speck-less. Really really enjoyed our stay, so thank you very much Leonardo and Steffano!
