This was the easiest review to fill in as I could easily tick all the boxes and give it 5 stars. Communication was quick and easy, Francesco speaks excellent English making it so simple. His apartment is super stylish and you are made to feel instantly at home. You have all you need if you do want to eat in. The other thing is it is so quiet and the bed is so comfortable - set your alarm to avoid sleeping in longer than expected! Also he has ample tips on the area, which by the way is great as there are plenty of places to eat and drink right on your doorstep and it is also easy to walk to the main tourist sites.
I can't recommend enough. If you are planning to visit Bologna (and you should as it is a fab city) then stay here!
