Carmine's place is in an extremely central location, truly in the heart of Florence. He is EXTREMELY accommodating and even carried our heavy luggage up a few flights of steps! The apartment is quite nice, though my only complaint would be the noise outside of the room. I sort of disregarded the other guest reviews' advice to bring ear plugs, but if I go back I will definitely bring them since there is a loud Latin bar down below. Other than that, everything was as promised. There is only one bathroom so that can be tricky if there are other people staying in the apartment (there are 4-5 usable rooms, including the living room which has a sofa bed). However, it wasn't really a problem for us. There is a washing machine in the bathroom which is a huge plus, as long as you have the time to hang your laundry on a line to dry. Overall, a very enjoyable experience in beautiful Florence. Definitely recommend!
