This was our first proper experience of airBandB but it was a great start. Danilo was the perfect, charming and very knowledgeable host who clearly loves to introduce visitors to his neighbourhood. We had messaged Danilo prior to the trip and he gave us sound advice about getting about/transport etc. He kindly allowed us access to the appartment as soon as we arrived and showed us the local store and cafe, giving us great advice about the appartment and local attractions, offering to print our boarding passes for us. Everything about the appartment was as described but better, perfect for us (couple with 16 year old). Our son slept in the upstairs bed and had use of the computer area to get his own space away from us! After a couple of knocks to the head he got used to the low ceiling! The area was really good, close to the lively university district with its cheaper and less formal eateries and museums, but also to the city centre and train station. We were very impressed with Bologna, as a base to travel by train to Venice and Florence but also to spend time in. There are some beautiful churches, lovely architecture and interesting museums (including our favourite the Poggi museum), as well as quirky shops and trattorias at every turn. Thank you Danilo for all your great advice and hospitality.
