While I didn't meet Carmine, this flat is in a great location in Florence. My BF and I were only here one night, but Carmine gave us great suggestions about where to go to buy food and inexpensive places to eat. The location is walkable to all sites in Florence, it is a bit noisy in the morning as it is directly above the central market, but the apt was clean, wifi was good, there is a washing machine for laundry and a kitchen for your use. One bathroom for 3-4 rooms, but was never an issue.
