Statying at Lavern`s home was just like staying at a friend`s place. She was very helpful and even though she couldn`t be there, she checked all the time if we were ok with everything. Place was at a superb location, just 10 min walking from the ideal center. I just regret that we couldn`t try her home made dishes.
The area was noisy at night, so not for people who prefer quiet, however it`s the same all over the center of Bologna I suppose. The apartment is on the last floor, be prepared to take the stairs as there is no elevator.
The bed was comfortable and we had enough blankets to be warm. There is a fully equipped kitchen where you can prepare some tea, and store all your cheese and meat from the local market in the fridge.
