Annalisa is a wonderful host and has such a unique apartment just as the photos show. She was so easy to communicate with and provided so much extra information for our stay in Bologna. The roof top balcony was a real treat where we enjoyed an evening of wine and snacks. The location was in a lovely neighborhood with tree lined streets and an easy walk to the historic center of Bologna. Annalisa's recommendations for local cafes(Bar Tito) and restaurants were perfect. It was raining on our last night in Bologna so we chose one of the local pizzerias(il Sellaio) which she suggested on one of her lists. It was a great choice---filled with locals and original décor. Annalisa has lots of notes and books about what to see and do in Bologna ---very helpful. We had a car and were able to park on the street out front which was very handy. It was only 7.50 euros a day to park right in front (free from 6pm to 8am) ---pick up a day pass from the neighborhood tobacco shop (very easy). There is also free parking around the block where you can leave your car but we preferred to pay so we could leave it out front. Having a car in Italy can be a challenge when you get near cities and it was a big concern of ours but it was very easy at Annalisa's. Everything about Annalisa's place was accurately described and pictured on the website and she is a caring and honest person. Enjoy your stay ---you won't be disappointed.
