Bettina’s apartment made our trip truly special. The view from the balcony is spectacular day and night! Out of our five nights stay, we spent two of them in the apartment, on the balcony drinking wine and eating some homecooked pasta.
As the other reviews have mentioned, the location could not be more perfect. You can always find your way back, from all over the city (just look for the dome). Despite being extremely close to the Piazza del Duomo, to which hundreds of people flock everyday, the apartment is very quiet as it looks over a inner courtyard. The only sounds you can hear are the musical instruments of artists playing outside the cathedral, and the hourly chime of the bell tower.
Bettina was extremely helpful, approachable and very quick to respond.
The only downside to this lovely apartment is the shower does not hold much hot water (this was not a problem for me, but my girlfriend found that it went cold while she was in there).
If you can book Bettina’s apartment for your stay in Florence, we could not think of a better place to stay. 😁
