Florence, May 18


Leonardo's House, un-numbered room

We only stayed one night at this basic hostel-like place, which is probably the cheapest option in pocket-bashing Florence. Leonardo himself is friendly and very helpful (he's thoughtfully put up the train schedule on one wall for easy reference), but the rooms seem to vary. Ours unfortunately only had an internal window onto a walkway, frosted so we couldn't see out. It was clean enough, although could do with a tidy up on the decor. (Other rooms seem to be nicer, so might be a good idea to ask to look around first – maybe if you're staying more than one night you'll get a better room.) No towels are provided.
Bathroom: Shared, and a bit manky.
View: None. Window was frosted.
Cost: 40 euros
Recommended? If you're on a budget, this will do.
