Being a German and not knowing better, Gabriella seems like "a real Italian Mum" to me. She was very warm, welcomed me at the gate, and showed me the apartment, which is just beautiful; not the usual Ikea stuff. The promised parking space was available. You can park on the premises; the lot is locked by a gate. The location is also excellent. You walk 1.5 km to the center of the old town of Bologna. I even got breakfast from Gabriella the next morning. I really hope to be able to stay longer next time!
