Mariana was a fantastic host. Even though she couldn’t allow us to check in early, she did let us leave our bags. She asked us to leave our bags and carried them up a flight of stairs as well without us knowing. ( there is a lift up but a small set of stairs to climb after that)
The house is very nicely decorated and has a really warm feeling about it. We had the loo entirely to ourselves and pretty much the full use of the kitchen. Marianna lives in the adjoining houses almost never came into our side besides when we needed help.
The room is small but cosy. We had big bags so we had to keep one in the corner of the kitchen which Marianna had no problems with so worked out well for us. Even though the windows aren’t very big it’s a bright apartment. Even though it’s located bang in the centre there isn’t much street noise that comes in. It can get a bit hot though in the summer months.
The location is absolutely fantastic. It’s above a restaurant and everything is pretty much walking distance. It felt pretty much like a private house to be honest so it was real value for money.
Marianna even had some recommendations of restaurants and bars in the city for us to check out. Her mum runs a fantastic looking seafood restaurant that we were unable to try but will definitely do the next time :)
If we went back to bologna we would a 100% stay here again.
