We had a wonderful staying Patrizio's place. The apartment was in a great location, but still quiet. He was incredibly helpful - providing a list of places we can visit and offering to call for taxis if needed to overcome the language barrier. We visited Modena one day and needed to call a balsamic producer to ask questions about the tours- and he was happy to help on the phone as we were unable to speak Italian.
We would definitely come back to stay when in Bologna again- and we definitely will be as its an incredible city!
