Flavio is an excellent host. He provided very clear communication and he went way out of his way to help facilitate luggage storage, hooking us up with dining options, etc. He is a kind, intelligent man, and it was a pleasure to spend a couple days with him. He keeps his place immaculately clean. It is a very reasonable walk from the San Vitale train station, and there are nice cafe and shopping conveniences in the neighborhood. Added tip for your stay: zip over to Bologna and have dinner at Il Tartufo. Amazing!
