Carmine was an excellent host and his listing provided me with exactly what I wanted. The apartment is in an extremely central location, off the Mercato San Lorenzo and close to all the main sites of Florence. I was travelling alone and was given a double bed in a bright and airy room with high ceilings and a view out onto the market. The room was very comfortable and met my needs perfectly.

The apartment also contains a well-stocked kitchen and a clean bathroom with laundry facilities. There are other rooms for guests, including one family room that was unoccupied while I was there. The other guests that I met were very polite and friendly.

Carmine himself was very helpful and made himself available to me whenever I needed any assistance. His English is extremely good too, so if you don't speak Italian then it's no problem! All in all, I would say that this is a very good place to stay if you want a city break in central Florence, and certainly a better option than booking a hotel room.
