We loved our stay at Carlotta's apartment in Bologna - the stairs were a little hard on the legs, but the views more than made up for it. Five minute walk to Piazza Maggiore and you're in the heart of this groovy Italian city. And the food is sensational, so maybe the stairs is a way to balance all of the eating! If I ever return to Bologna, I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Carlotta's. Grazie Carlotta!
