Staying at Leonardo's place was absolutely lovely! He was such a great host leaving some treats in the flat for us to munch on while catching the view (and breeze!) on the terrace.

While there is no central ac or internet in the flat - the stay was still an absolute pleasure. The bedroom is very cool and comfy (with an awesome overhead fan!) and a strong breeze thru the open windows. For wifi - there is a quaint Italian cafe around the corner, Cafe Bianco, that serves up very yummy cappuccinos and a strong wifi connection. We stopped there every morning for our coffee/email fix : )

Location is also superb! If you are coming by train, it's walkable from the station, just a couple blocks away. While walking there, you may look around and think you aren't in the best area? But we still found it very quiet at night and were always excited to come 'home' after a full day of walking around and taking in the sites.

Town is also just a short walk away - and quite easy to figure out! After coming from Venice (very confusing!) we were very happy to stay on 1 or 2 roads to get from the flat to a more bustling area of town full of shops, bars and restaurants.

We would definitely stay here again if ever back in Florence (fingers crossed!). Thanks Leonardo for allowing us to stay in your home : )
