Location, location, location! Carolina & Laura's place is in a perfect spot to access all of the main attractions in Florence, just a short walk to the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio, Ufizzi, and Galleria dell'Accademia. The room was clean, comfortable, and well appointed with a TV and air conditioning. You can leave the windows open to soak in all of the sounds of the streets below, or close them for a bit more peace and quiet. Laura greeted me with a big smile upon arrival and proceeded to show me how to use the locks for the bedroom and front door. Fresh towels were provided and even little individual packets of personal shampoo/body wash! There were plenty of tourist guide books and leaflets in the room, perfect for the first time visitor like myself. There are two shared bathrooms, both of which appear to be recently renovated and kept very clean! Laura was kind enough to let me leave my bags in the hallway during my last day after check out, so you don't need to worry about finding a left luggage facility if you leave Florence in the afternoon or evening. There are 4 sets of stairs to climb up from the street, which isn't too much fun with luggage, but it is excellent exercise! One evening I think I must've run up and down at least 3 separate times when I heard some great buskers out in the streets nearby. On that note, I highly recommend spending an evening wandering the streets after dinner to just listen to the buskers. There is some amazing talent in Florence and the general atmosphere is incredible. Overall, I had a wonderful stay at Carolina & Laura's place and would definitely like to stay there again when I return. Grazie Carolina e Laura, era perfetto! :)
