Matteo and Tomoko are both warm, friendly and welcoming people. I stayed in their beautiful, warm, spotless home (even nicer than the pictures!) for three nights in February. One night they invited me to make pizza with them and we had a great time - such a fun memory! Just note that they prefer not to give their guests a key, so you do need to coordinate with them your comings and goings - but they are very flexible and available. I feel like I have two new friends in Bologna!
