Our stay at Maria Chiara's apartment is, without doubt, the best Airbnb experience we have had.
Maria Chiara is most certainly deserving of her "super host" title. From the outset, communication with her was excellent and remained so throughout our 6 night stay. She is incredibly punctual, was waiting at the door for us when we arrived, and then gave us generously of her time to explain the workings of the apartment and she also answered any tourism related questions we had. In fact she has her own "mini tourist office" within the apartment - with brochures relating to everything you may need.
Now to the apartment itself. It certainly has the WOW factor!
It is on the second floor ( lift) of a beautiful old palazzo. Maria has impeccable design skills and her apartment is decorated with both beautiful antiques and stunning contemporary objects ( some of her own making) that give it a really special feel.
It looks out over an internal courtyard and has lots of natural light coming in to both bedrooms and the living area. We loved coming back to the peaceful serenity of this gorgeous apartment after our days out.
Maria had stocked the kitchen, bathroom and laundry very generously. We were very impressed indeed!
We felt very lucky to have found this amazing place to stay and would highly recommend it.
It is easy walking distance to everywhere ! We never once needed to use public transport.
Maria has a great list of recommended restaurants and she was kind enough to book some of these for us before our arrival.
I hope to get back to Bologna one day, it is a beautiful city, and if I do, I will definitely be staying at Maria's apartment again.
It has the same beautiful heart and sole as its owner.
Thankyou Maria, for providing such a great place to stay, and for your assistance before and during our stay.
