I instabooked the day I was staying at Ilaria's. Because it was last minute, she wasn't there but she made sure her lovely friend was there to greet me and give me tips about Bologna. She was hospitable from afar -- available by phone and even helped arrange a taxi for me to get to the train station. Her home is nice and clean. The area is convenient to walk to most places, and there's a cool vibe going on in the neighborhood around where she lives. She was flexible, and I would definitely stay again. The only thing was the private bathroom has a ceiling window open to the next room, which is the hallway bathroom, so sometimes it feels less private if there is someone in the bathroom next door that you can hear through the ceiling window. Not a deal breaker at all, just an fyi. I highly recommend staying with Ilaria.
