Wonderful stay. This is the way to do Florence - Carla's place is a gem right in the heart of the city, finely decorated with antique items, and very comfortable with all the amenities to include A/C - a must have in August. We were a group of four and two kids and had plenty of space. Driving into the city is nerve-racking, but there is a parking garage right next door and is very convenient. Hygiene items were available per guest. We were greeted by the charming Isabella and she provided excellent ideas on where to eat and what to do. She was right on every one of them, which is important because of all the tourist traps in the city. Thanks Carla and Isabella!!!
