Our family of three spent almost a week at Gianmaria's place over New Year's Eve. Apart from the stairs, everything else was really good - the location; easy check-in process (with very welcome help from Jaime getting our luggage up the stairs after a long day's travel); the apartment itself (with comfy beds and nice sheets); and Gianmaria's recommendations of local restaurants to try. Bologna is a charming city with very friendly locals. I'd happily recommend the city and Gianmaria's place to others.
