Serena is the most welcoming host and I had a fantastic stay in her home. The apartment feels very relaxing and I was comfortable spending time in the communal areas as well as in the large bedroom.
The location is fantastic - a short walk to the main square, easy to get to the train station, and a good supermarket just around the corner. There are also a few fun bars just outside the apartment building which I enjoyed a few drinks in one night - full of locals and not too pricey. Fortunately you can't hear the noise from those bars from inside the room, as the shutters & window successfully keep the noise and daylight out, allowing a nice holiday lie-in!
I would strongly recommend staying in Serena's place and hope to come back to Bologna and stay here again!
