Staying at Carlo's apartment was an excellent experience in every way. The apartment is newly renovated, immaculately clean, and has everything one needs to make for a very comfortable stay. The location is perfect - in my favourite area of the historical centre (near Piazza Santo Stefano). The apartment is on a quiet residential street but just a few minutes from the bustling main piazza, Piazza Maggiore. Carlo is an amazing host. We didn't get to meet because he was called out of town but he was in very regular communication, making sure that everything was going well, making recommendations for restaurants and activities, and generally being most friendly and helpful. I hope that his apartment is available next time I'm in Bologna!
