Everything about this place was wonderful. It was quiet, clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated and yet cosy. The tiny garden connected to the apartment takes the crown; when staying in an urban city such as Bologna, it is just wonderful to have a small private garden where you can relax.

Maurizio was a gracious and extremely friendly host who went out of his way to ensure that we had a pleasant stay. When we first met him, he managed to cover everything from the introduction to the apartment, giving us wifi-codes, etc. He even gave us advice on what to see, where to eat - even what kind of ice cream flavours he would suggest. He managed to do all of the above in a kind and friendly manner, without ever intruding on a privacy while we were there.

All in all; I can definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a place to stay in Bologna.

Finally: do not be fooled about the location of the apartment. It might seem a bit remote but the city is small and easy to get around. The neighbourhood is great; very local, cute little bars and a safe atmosphere.
