Great experience in Bologna!
Francesco gave us good instructions to get to his place by cab which was only a few minutes from the train station. He was waiting outside for us and helped us up to the top floor where he showed us around. Being his first airbnb guests he was very excited! And we were very impressed by his hospitality. He had prepared a welcome table of water plates, fruit, and some snacks and left us in peace to enjoy the amazing weather we were met with!
The terrace of the apartment is lovely, with beautiful views of the red roofs and very well located to the main shopping area.
Francesco gave us a map and good directions of where to go in the evening (it was a saturday).
The room was well appointed and stylish with enough room for big suitcases. We did make the mistake of leaving the windows open since it was so warm (no AC in the bedroom) and got eaten alive by Mosquitos! So learn from our mistake :)
The bathroom was private but across the hall. Francesco lives on the same floor but the main area of the apartment is locked off and feels very separate.
We came home in the evening to enjoy a drink on the terrace after our meal out, and Francesco joined us for a drink and even brought us some amazing food as he wanted to share the local cuisine with us! He prepared some tasty bread, cheese, and tomatoes. We were very touched by his thoughtfulness.
For a short stay it's a great option in foodie capital Bologna!
