Carlotta was an excellent host! The apartment is on the very top floor so be prepared to climb, but it is really worth it. You get an excellent view of the red rooves that Bologna is known for. The apartment is a well kept, welcoming space with all the amenities of home.

Carlotta was really thoughtful and sweet herself! We messaged in English/Italian using translations and spoke in French once we arrived with no problems. Our train arrived late and not having European phones we were not able to get in contact with her, but when we arrived she still took the time to walk us through and make us feel at home. She even called us a dinner reservation!!

We were pleased to find the kitchen stocked with all the necessities of home, i.e COFFEE, wine, dried pasta, flour, cooking oil, salt and pepper. It was near the end of our trip so we were also super glad to have the washing machine available so we could have fresh clothes for the last of the trip.

It's hard to find anything bad to say about our stay. It was really lovely. If anything at all, the water pressure in the shower is not so great, but I have come to expect that showers away from home are not always so great, even in hotels. It was clean and it did the trick and that is all that matters.

The location was a ten minute walk to the main attractions, i.e piazza maggiore, the two towers, the mercato centrale..etc There was a small Carrefour grocery right next door which certainly came in handy.

All and all, my only regret is not being able to stay longer!
