Maria Teresa and her family were fantastic hosts and very welcoming and friendly. My friend and I had a great stay in Bologna. I am very familiar with Bologna, having lived there myself in the past, and I can verify that the apartment is in a reputable part of town - the safe and pretty south. It is conveniently located in the historical centre of Bologna, 10 minutes walk from Piazza Maggiore, and just within the inner 'ring'. Beds could have been a little softer, and it was very hot and sticky since it was the height of summer, but generally the guest room and bathroom are spacious, clean, comfortable, functioning, and well provided for with a personal touch. Maria Teresa and her husband were also extremely kind to offer to drive me and my friend to the airport at 5am in the morning on the day of our departure. Thank you!
