I had a wonderful stay in Carlo and Beatrice's lovely, light-filled apartment in central Florence. Carlo met met me at the apartment building door and gave me a quick tour, left the keys, and I was ready to unpack and explore the city! The location is perfect - in a quiet part of town, 10 minutes' walk from the train station, and 10 minutes from all the central sites. The apartment is secure, quiet, and well appointed with kitchen gadgets, simple furniture, and a bright, natural atmosphere. I recommend it for solo travelers and non-couples (bedroom has two twins and there is a futon in the living room). I highly recommend this apartment! The hosts are also very respectful - they came by halfway through my stay to change the towels but sent a message the night before so I wasn't surprised. FYI there is no wifi, but I preferred it that way - easier to disconnect and enjoy Florence (it's easy to get online at cafes in town). Also there is a small grocery store (Carrefour Express) about 5 minutes away which is quite convenient. I would stay again!
