Francesca is an amazing host and the room/bathroom were great. Here is why we liked staying here.
1) Communication- Francesca communicated with us and provided us detailed information about how to check in, how to get to the property and included information on what to see in Bologna. Upon arrival she provided even more information, including maps and recommendations on places to visit and where to eat.
2) Property- The room in Francesca's apartment is very large, as clean as any we have every stayed in, bright and quiet. The bathroom is modern and you have almost a private suite as it is isolated versus the rest of the apartment. Francesca also provided us with a simple but wonderful breakfast including freshly-brewed Italian coffee.
3) Location- By bus we could get to the center of town in 15 minutes. We also walked it and it took us 30 minutes. Frankly we liked getting out of the center just a bit for the quietness. As an added bonus, you will be much closer to the hike up to Sanctuary of San Luca.
We highly recommended this as a place to stay in Bologna.
