Carlotta made me feel incredibly welcome in her beautiful apartment. It's eclectic, bohemian, light, filled with fresh air and catches the breeze beautifully, which can be a godsend on hot and humid Bolognese nights. The mismatched fleamarket furniture is extremely comfortable and - for this traveler, at least - utterly perfect. Small, but perfectly formed, the stunning view over the pink-tiled rooftops more than made up for the odd little drawback - there's a lot of stairs and, being on the top floor, the water pressure isn't great. Carlotta greeted me as arranged and showed me the basics, which included a bottle of wine and coffee on the house. Magic! Location is ideal for sightseeing and dining and there's a supermarket open late and on Sundays directly beneath, where there's also a pharmacy. The bars and trattorie of Via Pratello are just a short walk away, as well as the tourist hub of Piazza Maggiore and the foodie hub of Via Pescherie Vecchie and Orefici. Highly, HIGHLY recommended.
