It was very easy to communicate with Leonardo and the place was really cute. The three of us were working in Florence during Pitti Uomo. The home was a half hour walk to Fortezza de Basso and very convenient with cafes and restaurants in the area. We did not meet Leonardo, but my colleague did meet his father when we did the check in. She had said his father was very personable.
We did wish is that the internet was faster for us to send our work but that is not Leonardo's fault, but the city as a whole does not have fast internet.
Regardless, great place to stay and would stay again if I'm ever back in town for a holiday or work trip.
