Darias place in Bologna is wonderful. Clean, spacious, private. I visited Bologna late autumn with my two teenagers, who had both their private room, one of them even with a private bathroom. I myself slept in the combined kitchen and living room and had plenty of space on the big sofabed. Everything in the appartement was nice, tidy and practical and the AC kept us warm in the cool autumn weather. We have all hoped for a bit of an indian summer, but although Daria would do anything in her power to keep us happy, the weather was not under her command.
We used Bologna as a base and after visiting the city (and among other sites going by foot to the wonderful Santuario della Madonna di San Luca) we went by train to visit Firenze and Venezia, which was pretty easy with the train station only about half an hour away from Darias place by foot. Going to Venezia Daria was very helpful printing our tickets for the vaporetto. Don't know what we would have done without her helping us, so thank you. <3
