The reason I reserved Carlo's place was based on the reviews. They were right. It's incredible. Bologna is a great city and his apartment compliments everything about it. My one regret is that we only stayed three nights. The bedroom upstairs is fantastic; the bed is big and comfortable, there's a half bath up there, and the shuttered windows open up above the surrounding rooftops. The place was spotless. The bathrooms were clean, the hot water was hot, the couch was delightful, the dining table was big, the terrace amazing, the heat worked (we were there in january) everything was perfect. The kitchen is massive and fully stocked. If you plan to cook, it's ready. And there's an elevator that drops you off at the top to a single door, yours. If you are a couple, or even alone, this place is fantastic and in the heart of a vibrant city. Oh, and Carlo was a superstar. He was beyond kind and quick to respond. Read the other reviews. Rent it.
