I strongly recommend Patrizio's place and him as a outstanding host. I've booked his place for my parents (they don't speak foreign language) and I was a bit worried how the trip will be. Despite that all concerns disappear at the time I got in touch with Patrizio. Communication with his is super easy and fast and ... well he is just awesome. I think people like him make the airbnb truly special and they are the face of this company.
About his apartment - the feedback from my Mom was - "Here it is sparkling clean" - these words from a mother are equivalent to pharmacy cleanness. I hope I received this feedback back in time when I use to clean (occasionally my room).
Location - perfect. If you don't plan visiting the lovely cities close to Bologna with the train - you won't spend any money for public transport - it is very central and close to everything.
Communication with Patrizio - absolutely flawless.
Patrzio, thank you once again !
