I had the privilege of staying at Carla’s for two months and it was absolutely wonderful. Carla and Marco are warm, friendly and incredibly generous hosts. Carla picked me up from the airport, helped me with my suitcases, and even offered to do my ironing (in addition to providing breakfasts). I was invited to have meals with them and both hosts constantly performed thoughtful gestures for me. I loved learning from them about their travels and interests.
Their home (and adorable dog) is beautiful. It really adds to the experience of Florence to stay in a place filled with such lovely art and books. The flat is perfectly located - I could walk to my classes easily in the city centre and was a couple of minutes from the train and bus station for day trips. There were also some very kind and friendly neighbours who regularly offered help should I need it.
I would highly recommend staying with Carla and Marco as it’s a very special AirBnB experience and they are such great people. I was staying in Florence alone and I really appreciated their effort to make me feel instantly comfortable and at home. I hope to have the joy of staying with them again.
