I very much enjoyed staying at Francesca's apartment. It was ideally situated being less than ten minutes from the Piazza Maggiore and about twenty minutes from the railway station. Francesca was a wonderful host - very welcoming and helpful with things such as where the local markets were and with booking taxis, doing all this and looking after the apartment with a smile on her face. It was very useful to have the kitchen as I could not afford to eat out the whole time I was there. I look forward to returning to Bologna and hopefully staying at Francesca's aparentment again
