Barbara is a fantastic host. The room is very comfortable, and it is in an apartment situated under the porticoes of Via Saragozza -- only a short walk from the portici di San Luca and about 15 minutes by foot to the gate to the city. The neighborhood is gorgeous, lined with some splendid parks, not far from several good bars and pasticcierie, and and accessible by bus. Barbara offered some wonderful suggestions to me for my trip, which helped me to fall in love even more with Bologna. She is very attentive and accomodating. I strongly recommend renting her space!
