LAVERN IS THE BEST!!!! If you are thinking about booking a stay with her just do it already! She is such a wonderful woman. She makes you feel at home immediately. It's like you are visiting an old friend. She can show you around Bologna and give you the non-tourist view. Her home is very comfortable and inviting. If you get a chance have a home cooked meal with her. It is the best. Her daughter is awesome too! She is very good at doing nails! Just ask Lavern about it. I cannot recommend staying with her enough! You will love it!
