Paola was an excellent host being there to check us in and out. She was very helpful providing us with lots of info and a local map. We were a bit late to check out and she was very understanding whilst we rushed to leave!
The flat is the best location, beautiful old building, so close to great restaurants, shopping, all the sights and walking distance to the train station. Its very spacious, clean and decorated with soul. She even provided breakfast, tea, coffee etc which we weren't expecting! Make sure you eat at Osteria dell'Orsa down the road, for super cheap delicious food and the best gelato we found (we tried many!) is Il Gelautro near Porta San Vitale. Forno Brisa on via Galliera does amazing organic breakfast breads, pizza, cakes and great flat white coffees (difficult to find in Italy). We came to eat and were not disappointed. The stunning Le Stanze bar set in old chapel is a minute away from the flat. Bologna is such a relaxed beautiful historic town full of friendly locals - we had a great time and look forward to re-visiting one day soon.
