We absolutely loved Carola's place. Immediately upon arrival she was welcoming. She told us a few spots to grab a bite to eat and walked us through the apartment. The apartment itself is a gem. Our room was exactly as it is shown. The bed was super comfortable. The terrace was incredible we enjoyed drawing there during the day and viewing the city scape at night. The neighborhood was not far from the main downtown area. About a 15 minute walk to local attractions. There were plenty of places to eat nearby. Getting to the apartment from the train station was a super easy walk. Carola gives a pretty decent set of directions. The bar she mentions in them is to the left when you are facing the bus station. We unfortunately did not see a name of the bar until we walked passed it but we found our way very easily.

Overall, our stay was great. I hope to find ourselves back in Florence again some time and stay with Carola again.
