Originally I was planned to stay in a bed and breakfast by central station but as I was walking up to the doors thy called saying they have a problem and lost my reservation, but they will put me in their friends place which *should be clean* (emphasis is needed and they repeatedly used this term). When I told them I was just downstairs and I will come up and talk they hung up on me. By the time they called back the security guard let me in the building to find out there is no staff on location and the call because sketchier an sketchier…
Needless to say I decided not to stay with the sketchy BnB anymore and searched through airbnb finding this lovely place. I messaged asking it my last minute request would be ok as I was now left stranded without a safe place to say and was accepted within 10 minutes! :D I found out a we were arranging my arrival time that Claudia is out of town for work but her friend Yarno is looking after all of her guests. Yarno was amazing! He was leaving work when we arranged this and quickly went to the house (a few blocks from his work) and made sure everything was in order while I made my way over. He was so helpful telling me the best things to see and areas to go to for my one night stay as well as any areas that should be avoided as I am a female traveling alone. He even marked them on a map so I couldn't get lost :D this apartment is amazing and just beautiful.
After meeting Yarno I know Claudia must be just as amazing and I hope that the next time I come back I will be able to meet her too!
I really suggest this place for your staying in Bologna as its in the perfect location close to everything you will need.
