Francesco is a fantastic host, an excellent communicator, and a truly great resource on the ins and outs of Bologna. He made me feel right at home, explained everything in the apartment to me, and offered me some wonderful suggestions on things to see and do in the city, all of which I took. The location is spectacular and perfect for walking anywhere you need (restaurants, bars, cafés, gelaterie, supermarkets, as well as historical and tourist attractions), and also well connected to the bus lines. I had a lovely time and hope to return in the future!
