Maria Chiara is an amazing host with an excellent apartment. She welcomed us at the apt and gave us a detailed walk-through of all of the amenities (including lots of snacks, a fridge full of milk, yogurt, cheese, etc. and all the supplies for cooking at home!). The apartment is centrally located, within a few blocks of Piazza Maggiore and the city center. Maria provided us with a map that she had marked with cafes, restaurants, grocery stores, and sites and told us about each one. If we had any questions, needed to make a reservation or call a taxi, Maria would respond immediately. We were very comfortable at the apartment and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay in Bologna. Grazie mille, Maria! We will definitely be back!!
