First time visiting Bologna alone, and with intention for a day trip or two... couldn’t have chosen a better home to stay.
Claudia is very responsive and helpful as a host. Her apartment is very centrally located, close to main attractions in Bologna but off to a quieter side street. An easy 10-15 min walk to train station which makes trips in and out of Bologna very easy (and recommended!)
As someone traveling alone, I was debating between renting an apartment vs. a room. Ultimately felt safer with a “room” which turned out to be more like your own apartment (private bed and bath rooms, with shared kitchen). Very basic but clean and comfortable, really all I was looking for, before continuing my trip with hotel stays. Interesting enough I think I had better nights sleep at Claudia’s than at the 4-5 star hotels I stayed after!
I would definitely recommend this for the location and value for money!
