We recently stayed at Maria's flat in Bologna and we truly loved this place. It was very clean, and stylishly decorated. We loved the small kitchen and the location is absolutely amazing. There are 2-3 churches within a 5 minute walk which was helpful for attending Christmas Mass! Its located right by the two towers hub of the busy Bologna shopping area, but far enough away to not be noisy. And speaking of noise, this place is unbelievable quiet!! There is the bustling noise of the city outside, but once you are inside, it is super peaceful and quiet. Last thing--Maria is so friendly and took a very hands on approach with giving us suggestions on the area. A couple of her food recommendations were home runs! Thanks again Maria!!
