This house and the host Tony were perfect. I was a little nervous that the photos looked photoshopped, but the house is actually even bigger than pictured, full of light, and very homey/comfortable. Tony bent over backwards for us: picking us up from the airport, dropping us off at the train station, giving us recommendations, and helping with our young son´s needs on the trip. While we preferred lots of contact with Tony, I have no doubt that he adapts easily to visitors that want less of an airbnb experience, leaving them to their own devices.

In 10 minutes on one bus (no transfers) that you catch across the street, you are in downtown Bologna. Even with a stroller, we found it easy and the older Italians on the bus were adorably kind with our son.

If the description of this house sounds right for you, don't hesitate a second!

I wouldn't choose this house if you a) want to be in the very center of bologna b) want a 5-star hotel with little soaps and matching dishware, etc etc.

Do choose it if you want a bright, beautiful, italian, homey, convenient place with a fabulous host.
