Carla's place is really conveniently located - close to the market, supermarkets, cafe and restaurants, all kinds of shops as well as historical buildings and places that you must be planning to visit. Carla is a kind woman who will wait for you to arrive and then introduce you to each room and facilities. We were one hour late to arrive because we missed the train we had intended to take but she kindly waited for us as I text mesaged her. She takes care of the flat nicely so her place was clean and comfortable. In the kitchen were some food and spices that you can use for cooking. In the evening you will hear people's cheerful voices because there are popular cafes in the neighbourhood. Also you will hear the road cleaner working hard in the early monring and some noises at the nearby fresh market but I think it is one of the attractions living in the middle of Florence. I enjoyed buying fresh vegetables and meat in the market and was very happy I stayed in Carla's place. If you are not fond of people's activities, you should sleep in a tightly closed and soundless room of a hotel. Thank you, Carla, for the wonderful stay!
