Paride’s place was great - conveniently located above the associated hostel which was helpful for an easy checkin, checkout and place to leave my bags during the day after I checked out. I was also welcomed to join in the communal dinner at the hostel which was delicious and a really fun way to meet other travellers and feel welcomed in Bologna. The location is within walking distance of the station, all the attractions and within the university district which means there are lots of cool places to hang out but also that it was quite loud on Friday night! Paride was very responsive to messages and helped me out even when it was late - thanks Paride for a lovely stay!
