Giorgio was very helpful. We communicated in English very smoothly. Beautiful loft in a fantastic location. Cab ride from Train Station about €11with bags, about €8 without. Cab to airport only €25. Based in Bologna we took easy, inexpensive day trips by train to Parma, Ravenna and Verona.
We are a family of four and were very comfortable. Computers very helpful to research our day trips.
We had breakfasts and afternoon snacks at Al Caften del Scol, a bar cafe at Via Nosadella 3, around the corner from Giorgio's. Lunch and dinners were very good at Console e Co., Via Sant'Isaia, 4, also very close. Bologna has many great options for food.
We had wonderful walks to Piazza Maggiore where you will find a very contemporary Visitors Center.
Staying in Bologna at Giorgio's loft was very relaxing and renewing after a high paced week in Roma. I would love to return.
