Fantastic stay in the heart of Florence! You will be right on the piazza, bustling with marketplace vendors during the day, particularly on Sundays, and locals, many of them students, at night! The actual space is beautifully designed. High ceilings, stylish archways, interesting touches (outdoor steps, indoors; low heavy metal gates). As an added bonus, there is an office area and fast Internet (~100/20 download/upload Mbps, when I stayed). Carla is a great host! Very communicative and ready to help or make recommendations. Make sure to visit the Basilica di Santo Spirito (steps away). It has Michelangelo's only wooden sculpture. And get cocktails at Bar Loggia overlooking Santo Spirito. Look no further if you need accommodation in Florence. Stay at Carla's!
