I never met Carmine personally, but this room was awesome! For the price of the room, i could not believe how nice it was. A big queen size bed, and a loft with a couch in the room. The room is also conveniently located across the street from the Mercato Centrale. Which is a must visit in florence (I went everyday). The apartment is also next to the train station. But all of the sights of florence are south of the apartment. Luckily everything is florence is walking distance and the furthest point of interest is the statue of david and is no more than an hour walking. There are about 4 other rooms in this apartment with people from all over the world staying in them. All and all this is a great room to stay in for the price.
