Betty's place is a great place to stay if you want to see Florence. Just outside on the street, the Duomo is dominant. From there on, everything worthwhile is in walking distance. The apartment itself is comfortable, the neighbourhood is lively (especially on Saturday night) and there are good places to eat or have a coffee nearby. Betty is exceptionally helpful and was very happy to answer any questions we had. We would heartily recommend this place for anyone coming to Florence.
