Leonardo and Annalisa's apartment is AMAZING. We arrived in Florence and took the VOLAINBUS that dropped us off at Santa Maria Novella train station. From there its a short and very easy walk to the apartment. We arrived a little early so we had lunch at Trattoria ZaZa (delicious) which is right next door to the apartment entrance. When we walked out of the restaurant, Leonardo was right there to show us into the apartment. He helped us with our bags up the stairs and showed us his place! The stairs aren't bad! Leonardo was very friendly and helpful through out our entire stay. The apartment is beautiful, their design and architecture in this loft is jaw dropping. Everything that you want is in the apartment, nice kitchen, good sized euro bathroom, beautiful view! The ceiling in the loft is a little low in some spots so don't jump up out of bed and hit your head! There are about 7-8 restaurants below the apartment in the plaza so it will get loud at night. Like other reviews said bring plugs/headphones if you're a light sleeper. It is in a very nice part of the city so there should be no worry. Thank you Leonardo and Annalisa! We will be back!
