Lavern’s home is beautiful and well taken care of. I did not get to meet Lavern, only her daughter, but her daughter was very nice. Unfortunately, we were in Bologna in the middle of a heat wave and the room gets very hot since there is no fan or air conditioner. We had to leave the bedroom door open in order to get some kind of breeze which feels a bit weird when staying in someone else’s home! I would stay here again when it’s cooler but in the middle of the summer, Bologna is very hot and humid so we could not really rest. Alas, this is no fault of Lavern! Her home is lovely and very clean. Just be mindful of the weather when booking in Bologna!
