As others have stated, Carlo is an exceptional host! He had pastries, milk, and juice ready for our arrival and took the time to show us a map with all kinds of recommendations. He even came all the way back to bring us a bottle of water that he had forgotten (we told him it was not necessary, but he insisted!) When we were interested in one of his recommended restaurants, he kindly called and made a reservation for that night. He continually checked in by text to make sure everything was well and see if there was anything he could do. The place itself was a perfect little retreat in the middle of the city. Not to mention the bathroom seemed to be brand new with a large, comfortable shower! On departure, Carlo offered to store our bags for a couple hours after check out and even called a cab for us. I would absolutely recommend Carlo's place for anyone visiting Bologna, whether it is for a day or a month. We hope to be back one day soon!
