I had good time in Bologna staying in Flavias flat. Although she didn't reply to my message for a couple of days, she contacted me right before my arrival and was always replying right away to my questions during my stay. I was welcomed by her maid who just spoke french but it all worked out. The night is pretty noisy when you leave the window open as the quarter is full of bars. But that's also a plus point as the Via del Pratello offers a cool night life. The room had a fan which was needed due to the hot temperatures. The flat offers a very stylish living room and you can use the shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom if you want to. The city center is in walkable distance. I can highly recommend to do the 7 secrets free walking tour to discover the city.
