Alright listen up people. This place is an absolute must. I've stayed in Airbnb's on 4 different continents and NONE have quite been as special as Lavern's place.
She is a HUGE foodie as am I and made sure to provide me with every single place I needed to eat at in my five days staying there. I listened and ate or got a drink (or three :D) at every one and I am so thankful to have had her direction. She even told us where to go for local markets, aperitivos, and just amazing sightseeing.
I'm not going to lie, if you are only staying a night here, you are doing yourself a disservice. Also don't be shy, she really will just welcome you in like family.
On our last night in bologna Lavern went ahead and whipped together an amazing multi course, homemade Italian dinner with wine.
I just can't put into words how special Lavern, her daughter and her boyfriend made our stay in Bologna and cannot reccomend this experience more! BOOK IT! Now! Don't wait! You will not be disappointed.
Thank you thank you thank you Lavern and family!
You are our first stop next time we are coming back to Italy!
