Carlotta was an excellent hostess and we absolutely loved her place! It suits all types of travelers whether you spend the days adventuring and seeing the sights, are foodies and want to experience the local cuisine, or simply want to relax and feel right at home. The location is literally across the Central Market (1st floor is like a local farmers market and closed early whereas the 2nd floor is like a gourmet food hall and bar that stays open until midnight) and is a short walk to the SMN train station. There are several great restaurants in the area but Florence is very walkable and this place’s central location makes it a short walk to most places. The only downside to this place is that it is on the 4th floor and there are no elevators so if you cannot climb stairs easily, I wouldn’t recommend this apartment. Getting the luggage up to the apartment was grueling. Also, the place can be a little hard to find but Carlotta gives great directions. Lastly, the street the apartment is on is very busy and loud (you can’t hear it from the room as the windows are soundproof) so be prepared to be hounded by street vendors selling leather. Overall, I’d highly recommend this place!
