Catia was an amazing host. She was very accommodating with check-in as we were delayed a bit as we were driving from Cinque Terre and had planned a couple stops along the way which took longer than expected. However, Catia and her husband were able to meet as shortly after we arrived! They were very welcoming and provided us with lots of info on things to see in Bologna and restaurants. Her husband also helped us get a parking space for our rental car in a garage that was less than a block away ($20/night). Catia and her husband spoke English fairly well so that made the check-in very easy!! Their apartment is in a great location, making it very easy to explore Bologna. The apartment itself is very nice as it appears to have been recently updated as everything was new. This would be a good place for longer stay as it had a full kitchen in it too. We only stayed for one night but we wish we had stayed longer as we really enjoyed Bologna. One thing to note is that this place does not have air conditioning and it can be very hot in Bologna during the summer so sleeping was a bit warm. Other than that we would recommend staying at Catia's place!!
