Carmen's space is extremely tidy and located outside the tourist area in a very accessible area. We enjoyed the quietness but as with any big city you have usual noise like buses and ambulances.
Carmen was kind enough to meet us as we had flight delays and rerouted to a different airport. She was so kind and checked in on us as well. In the area I recommend walking up the street to Conad for groceries, check out ovs for clothes right by Conad and head to the stand near the Conad for some delicious porchetta sandwich and hot dog! We also loved Pit Stop so much we visited twice - up the street and delicious Italian food!! At Carmen's your near rifredi station which is great to get to Rome or lucca but also just a tram away from Santa Maria Novella to get to Venice or rome or beyond!
We hope to visit again and will definitely stay if available!! Thank you Carmen.
