Maurizio was an attentive host. We appreciated his flexibility regarding our needs, his information regarding local grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, etc. He very kindly arranged a taxi for us when we were leaving. At our request Maurizio increased the temperature of the hot water tank, and during our stay in Italy we discovered that the older design of hot water tanks provide variable amounts of hot water no matter how you adjust them. We particularly appreciated the quiet neighbourhood which is well situated on the edge of historical Bologna and close to some wonderful restaurants and bars.
