We loved our stay in Carmine's Nest! Great location within the city, not right in the middle of the touristy areas. Very comfortable bed and a much nicer shower than we have seen elsewhere in Italy. Homey feel - somewhere you could imagine being your own apartment. More spacious than other places we have stayed. Loved the storage space within the bedroom. Great to have AC and fans. LOVED having a washing machine available, since we were traveling for almost 2 weeks with only a backpack each. Kitchen was well-stocked with essentials for cooking. Be warned that it is on the 3rd floor, so it does require quite a few steps to access. Pack lightly! Overall we highly recommend and would stay here again if we ever return to Florence.
