Marco and his family we more then regular airbnb hosts. They let us feel like family. They made sure we were happy, invited us to family gatherings and made sure we know of their favorite places to go in Bologna.
We came to Bologna for 1 month with our kids ages 5 and 10. Jean Maria, Marco's son, made sure that we will have a permit for our rented car and gave us his parking spot. The apartment was great, a large bedroom for us, 2 small (though bigger then we thought) bedrooms for the kids, in each they had a trundle bed and a desk, a living room with dining area, kitchen with eat in kitchen table, off the kitchen there was a sort of patio which we didn't use much, but it was nice to have. 2 bathrooms, big one with a tub, and a small one with a shower. In the big shower we found a washing machine and hanging lines which I loved to use :))
all and all the apartment was big spacious and nicely decorated.
The location was fantastic for us, 3 min walk from 2 big supermarkets, at least 4 coffee shops right within the same block. Antonio sold us amazing prosciutto and fresh cheese and bread, 2 fresh pasta shops and a butcher were right under the house. We also loved the Sorbeteria gelato.
everything else in the city was about 10-15 min walk away. We had the greatest time.
We also took fantastic day trips to venice,florence, Parma, Pisa, and the amusement park Mirabilandia which we enjoyed a lot.
