My stay in Bettina's studio for quiet and comfortable 12 nights from October 27th of 2017 to November 9th was pleasant. The studio is located in a very heart of the city's historical center: 350 meters or 4 min of slow walk to Duomo. All tourists attractions and even places located out of usual routs are in walking distances (of course, there are many other places of interest, where you have to take public transportation or a car). There are many restaurants, luncheonettes, pasticcerie and jelaterie on the street and around for every taste and budget.
The studio is on 3rd floor with a large contemporary elevator, which brings you right to the door. It is very quiet in the studio not only at night time, but during the day time also, because the balcony overlooks an inner yard, and the noise of the street simply does not get there, so I slept very well in complete calmness on a comfortable bed. And – every morning and every night I had a pleasure of looking at The Cupola of Duomo's right in front of me. That is precious!
The studio itself is very clean and larger than it looks on the listing's photos, it is spacious enough for two people. Wifi worked fine for me and so did the air conditioner. As to hot water, since the building does not have a central water heating, the studio is provided with water heating tank. Keeping it in mind, use it reasonably, and hot water will run well for your shower and other needs.
The studio is provided with the basic things necessary to a convenience of your stay.
I found coffee ready to be made, my favorite Bialetti Moca coffee maker, sugar, some pastries and jams for breakfast, table and kitchen utensils. When I decided to make a dinner for myself, there was very good pasta, olive oil, sea salt, I just bought some pesto and prosciutto.
I usually travel solo, so I don't really need much for myself, but since I intend to pack lightly, provided washer and racks for drying laundry are a big help.
Now, it is time to talk about the host. Bettina is the sweetest person, responsive, attentive, ready to help. During my stay she sent me messages asking if everything is alright and whether I need anything. She even invited me for coffee in her lunch break, and we had nice little chat.
All in all, I enjoyed my stay in Bettina's studio and would come back in my next visit of Florence. Bettina, thank you very much for being my host!
