I was traveling alone and chose Carolina's place due to the close proximity to the train station and the reasonable price. To my surprise it was right in the heart of Florence and above a lot of high end retail stores. I arrived about an hour earlier than my estimated arrival time, but luckily Carolina's mother was there to greet me. The building was fairly easy to find but a bit confusing once you entered into the building as there were a few staircases to choose from. After being lost for a minute Carolina's mom came down and found me dazed and confused in the foyer LOL. She escorted me up to the top floor of the building and to my room. She gave me a tour of what was to be my room and the shared bathroom. Everything was very neat, clean, comfy and spacious! Being as though the apartment is in the heart of Florence it was active outside all night, but I didnt mind the hustle and bustle and actually opened the windows. Once I checked in I left out and didnt return into very late. I only stayed for one night, not even sure if there were other guest there, but the shared bathroom didnt prove to be an issue in the morning, as I was able to do what i needed to do and get in and out. All in all I would recommend staying with Carolina. It was a great price, great location, and very clean.
