We were greeted by Francesca (Simone’s mother) at the apartment, a very pleasant and helpful lady with plenty of information about Bologna. The apartment is in a fantastic location, with plenty of places to eat and drink locally, but also a very short walk to the main piazzas too. The apartment was very clean, tidy and spacious. The fridge was stocked with drinks and there was fresh fruit for our arrival, a lovely touch! The building is amazing and the apartment is very impressive. We had a fantastic time in Bologna and felt very much at home in Simone’s apartment. We would thoroughly recommend it.
