We have stayed with several airbnb’s and all of our experiences have been good. But Laura was the best by far. She takes customer service to a higher level.
She picked us up at the airport, and arranged to have a taxi pick up and take us to the airport when we left. She drove us around the neighborhood to show us the area, the grocery stores, restaurants, park, church, and bus stop.
She suggested several restaurants, all of which we enjoyed. We picked one day and roamed around the local neighborhood. We went to the grocery store and bought ham, cheese and wine and had dinner back at the apartment.
Laura lives in the same apartment building and was available when we had questions.
The apartment was clean, comfortable and had all the appliances a visitor might need. The neighborhood was quiet at night.
We prefer to stay outside of the tourist area (why would you travel thousands of miles just to hang out with the tourists?) and the location of her apartment was perfect for us. That said, we did spend most of our time in the city of Bologna. There is a bus stop right around the corner. If you avoid rush hour, the bus ride into town is only 10 minutes.
If you are going to visit Bologna you should stay with Laura.
