Carmine was an exceptional host. He visited the apartment every evening to ensure that everything was okay and deal with any problems in the apartment, and the building. We had a water issue in the building whilst I was there; however, Carmine was the adamant professional and organised water for us guests and kept in contact with us the entire time. The apartment is very central to everything in Florence. The noise, as other reviews have outlined, can be problematic - but seriously put it all in perspective: you are in the heart of Florence! The apartment is kept clean and tidy every day. I absolutely loved my time living in Florence and thank Carmine very much for his hospitality.
