Bettina's apartment is in such a great location! Access to whatever you need is minutes away. The apartment itself is spacious for 2 people, very safe and altogether quiet, despite its proximity to The Duomo.
Bettina was extremely conscientious communicating with us ahead of the trip as well as during the trip. She provided tips on her favorite places to eat, and there was plenty of guidebooks in the apartment as well. She met us promptly, despite my not having access to email her that our train was late. She was very gracious. The apartment was well-equipped with linens and kitchen items and overall clean.
A couple of minor issues that we experienced while we were there--1)a power outage. One evening the building across the courtyard from us lost power for a few hours, and then our building lost power 2 days later, but we were departing for home and not sure how long it stayed off. This might be normal for the area or it might have been a fluke, just something to keep in mind. Also, the hot water heater is pretty small--meaning about 3 minutes of hot water at a time for showers; it reheats pretty quickly, but also something to keep in mind.
