Carla was an amazing host. She messaged before we arrived with tips on how to reach her place which are very helpful when you are not used to Italy transportation or have never been to Florence. Once we arrived she was very helpful showing us around the apartment plus had a book of recommendations about places to visit and eat in Florence. Our favorite restaurants most definitely came out of that book as opposed to just looking online. Throughout our stay she messaged us to let us know about local events and ask if we needed anything. She deserves all 5 starts for the hard work and attention to detail she puts in to let us travelers have a good time. It also doesn’t hurt that the apartment is in a great location(close to town but no to touristy, many restaurant around, and of course gelato place)and has a killer view from the bedroom. It was an amazing 5 days here.
