“Leone X Guest House strikes me as a smart choice for travelers who appreciate quiet, spacious rooms a short walk from the train station. David, the host, appears genuinely committed to guest satisfaction through quick, helpful communication. While lacking some amenities, the personalized service and tidy environment still make it a solid base for exploring Florence.”
