The room is located in a lively neighbourhood, close to the city centre, main shopping street and lots of restaurants and bars. Lavern is very nice and welcomed us into her home like it was our own. She gave us many recommendations for places to eat and drink. Bologna is a student city, not too big and a lot of young people that like to go out and have a drink. The city is situated fairly central, which makes it easy to visit other cities in Italy. We went to Firenze, Verona and Parma, but Milano, Venice and the east coast of Italy are also pretty close.
We had an amazing time in Bologna. Lavern was really nice but if you would prefer a environment that is more private/quit, maybe this is not the place for you. We really liked Lavern's welcoming atmosphere and would definitely recommend staying here!
