Elena was an excellent host. She initiated communication once the reservation was accepted and answered all my queries within hours. She gave recommendations as well as provided several city guides (many in English) and maps for us to use during our stay. The apartment was very clean and the building was beautiful. The kitchen and bathroom are recent renovations so the water pressure and temperature were great. The location was a couple blocks from the main roads but still central - most places I wanted to visit (MAMBO, Quadrilatero, Santo Stefano,etc) were only 10-20 min away on foot. I highly recommend a visit to beautiful Bologna and Elena's place is the perfect place to start!
