The apartment is close to the train station but we were a little lost finding it at first. No worries. I phoned Leonardo, told him where we were, and he came right over to meet us. There are restaurants right outside the door and all around the area, as well as minimarts, etc. The apartment was spotless, quite sizable, and we were even able to do our laundry there for the next leg of our trip. Also just two blocks from the Arno River, along which there are lots more restaurants and shopping, and a lovely walk to the tourist areas and the sight to begin our tours. We spent four nights and would have loved to spend a couple more. I would be happy to stay at Leonardo's apartment again and highly recommend it. Every morning we had breakfast out on the terrace, which was very peaceful and a great escape from the busy streets.
