I cannot say enough good things about this apartment and its host, Leonardo! The apartment is spacious, the beds were comfortable, and there was even a charming balcony that looked out onto a shared terrace/backyard. Because it is just outside the center of Florence (a quick train or taxi ride, and also a lovely walk if you want to see more of the city as you go into the center), it is quiet and peaceful. There is an excellent gelateria a 10-minute walk away in one direction, and a wonderful pasticceria about seven minutes in another direction. Most importantly, Leonardo was extremely solicitous and responsive to messages, and gave us several exceptional recommendations for food and activities. We would love to stay here again of we are lucky enough to return to Florence!
If I could give more than five stars, I would.
