Two things make an Airbnb property particularly memorable – the location of the apartment and of course the host. Gabriele has it nailed on both fronts.
His apartment is in a great area that is convenient to just about anywhere in the old city. The flat has wonderful atmosphere, especially with the students at the nearby music conservatory practicing, and the view is awesome. Everything one might need is provided in the immaculate apartment, so just show up and you are on your way. We loved the Italian touches in the apartment.
Then we have Gabriele, who is rightfully a Superhost. He was so helpful and patient with all my questions from the time I made the booking, and he was always very prompt in responding. He provides a great amount of information about the area and recommended eateries. Beyond that, he's simply a delight to chat with and a good guy.
Staying in his apartment definitely enhanced our time in Bologna.
While I'm not sure when we will find ourselves in Bologna again, I can say without a doubt that his flat will be our go-to place to stay there.
