We, a family of three, enjoyed staying at Michele’s place although it was only for a night - not enough to really enjoy Bologna. The room was spacious with a lot of light. Although facing via Indepedenza, a lively major pedestrian street it was absolutely quiet with the large window closed. Location was perfect a few minutes walk to Piazza Maggiore. VIII Agosto parking costing €20 per 24h period just two blocks away. Michele and Ilona were very helpful and communication efficient and fast. Breakfast, provided at a coffeeshop across the street, was basic but added a nice touch to the beginning of the day. We would gladly stay at Michele’s place on our next trip to Bologna.
