Leonardo's place, while a 10/15 minute walk to central Florence, is located in a beautiful neighborhood which is very peaceful. We loved it because it was just out of the touristy areas. We would absolutely stay at his place again when we return to Florence. We booked an artisan tour and a cooking class with a chef and BOTH were very near Leonardo's place. Also, Gusta Pizza, always a recommendation, is just 10 minutes away. His place is beautifully decorated and a great place to wind down at the end of a full day. You won't be disappointed.
