This was an excellent choice. Airy, large, clean, comfortable space with a choice of lovely terraces looking out over the Bologna rooftops. We did not meet Irene but communication was great and her delightful mother showed us round the apartment when we arrived. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, although we did not use it a great deal. The apartment is fairly central - only a short stroll from the Strada Maggiore - in a safe pleasant area and there are several excellent places to eat nearby (Osteria La Fontana in Via Fondazza and Vino Al Vino in Strada San Stefano both v.g). Very strongly recommended.
