We had a very memorable stay at Bettina's studio apartment. Bettina is a warm and welcoming host and she let us in although we were checking in late. The studio apartment is a proper home with cooking facilities, washing machine, et al. Bettina was very thoughtful in furnishing the kitchen with cooking oil, coffee, pasta sauce, etc :) she is very communicative and always reachable. The room was warm as we were there during Jan and is just a minute's walk from Brunelleschi's dome (Duomo), in fact the Duomo is visible from the studio balcony. It is 15-20 mins walk from Florence S.M. train station and surrounded with many many good restaurants, grocery shops and gelataria places.
Me and my wife loved our stay here. We would highly recommend Bettina's studio and will definitely return in the summer season and enjoy a hearty dinner in the balcony! Thanks Bettina for everything and 'a presto!' :)
