Betty is an attentive, caring and welcoming host. There is a lot of attention to detail in her hosting style.

There is a comprehensive folder with recommendations of restaurants and sights, which we found very helpful.

The location of the apartment could not be better. You are quite literally by the Duomo and can see it from the window. It will make your trip to Florence extra special. You are right in the in the middle of Florence, being 10 mins away from Uffizi, Accademia, Bargello, Cappella Medici etc.

The apartment is quite high up and there are some stairs - which we personally found completely fine, but may not be as suitable for the elderly or those with mobility issues.

The decor of the apartment is extremely tasteful and it feels rather homely. You are also next door to a great bakery and a nice little supermarket. The only downside to the apartment is that you will see the Duomo so many times you might start taking Brunelleschi's architectural masterpiece for granted.

In short, the stay could not have been better.
