I stayed at Ivan's lovely house for a month and a half while I was on a fellowship in Italy. It's a charming, clean place, and Ivan became a wonderful friend to me during my trip abroad. Not only was the room spacious, comfortable, and a great spot when I wanted to work from home, Ivan also made me feel like I could be a part of his community here in Bologna, having dinners with friends, watching movies, and just generally being roommates. Ivan is really conscientious about sharing the space and he always made sure I had access to the kitchen when I wanted it, even if he was hosting other people and I suddenly came home and wanted to cook. He's a totally accommodating host. If you need a longer-term stay in Bologna, Ivan's house is a great place. And... the whole building just got brand new windows, so it's extra chic.
