Carolina's mother greeted me when I arrived, and it was seamless. She was very sweet and showed me to my room, and also showed me the bathroom accommodations. The room has two large windows which allowed for me to hear the hustle bustle of the streets, which I really enjoyed and gave me a great feeling of Florence and how alive the city was in the evening. The room was also air conditioned which is very nice on a hot summer day in Italy. The location is perfect, centrally located and easy to walk everywhere.

When I arrived Carolina let me know of the best local spots to go to eat. She sent me to a wonderful restaurant which was walking distance and had a wonderful crowd of people and great energy. I recommend listening to Carolina's suggestions as she knows the best places to go.

Additionally the day I left, I was able to leave my luggage there all day and pick it up right before my train, which allowed me to have a nice day of sightseeing without any luggage!
