Carmine is a nice and friendly fellow, interesting to talk to and insightful of the surrounding areas. The place was kept generally clean and the room was quite spacious. It is really close to everything so I couldn't ask for a better location. There is a market right below, but I closed the window and it was fine. I met other guests there and some of them were friendly and respectful. Carmine made some good recommendations of places to visit and eat. The only thing to watch out for is a lot of mosquitos in Florence, so be prepared to itch! Thanks Carmine for the wonderful time.
