I loved my stay at Carla's apartment. She was the perfect host; arrival was easy, she had a flexible schedule such that I didn't have to rush out the morning I was departing Florence, and she was very easy to reach if I needed anything. I couldn't have asked for anything more. The apartment was even more spacious and beautiful than the pictures showed. I loved the location - right around the corner from a great market and group of cafes and restaurants, but not in the middle of the touristy, commercial part of Florence. And yet such a short walk from all the major sites! It was truly the perfect place to stay in Florence. I really hope to return to Carla's apartment soon!
