Carla is a wonderful host and is so warm and thoughtful. She gave me great instructions from the train station, welcomed me into her home, and had a nice cold bottle of water for me ready when I arrived. Even though it was very warm weather at the time, her place was kept cool with the two fans that she placed in the bedroom. Her location is quiet and peaceful and I felt very rested.
Carla’s home is also beautifully eclectic. I’m an artist and so I thoroughly enjoyed taking in her collections of art, cool objects and decorative pieces. Her place is a fun blend of styles and I felt like I was able to experience something different and interesting by staying in her place. Even though my Italian is very limited we engaged through google translate and I was able to enjoy connecting and asking about her collections. Carla is warm and friendly and highly recommend choosing her place. It’s perfectly located between the train station and airport, so if you are visiting even just for a quick time in Florence, you can feel like you make the maximum of your time. Her place is just a quick step from the tram, and a short 12 minute ride to the airport. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
