Elizabeth was a wonderful host during my time in Bologna. She was extremely welcoming and her home was warm and friendly. The apartment is located centrally to the central plaza (Plaza Maggiore), and it was very easy to access all of the major sites in Bologna from that location. Elizabeth was very thoughtful and set out breakfast and coffee every morning; she gave great recommendations on specific places to go and things to see, and she even invited me to have dinner with herself and her son during my stay.
Elizabeth likes to say, "We consider our Airbnb guests as 'friends of friends', and we encourage them to come and go as they please, and to share common space with us." By the end of the trip, it felt more like staying with an old friend rather than an Airbnb host. I look forward to my next visit to Bologna, and to spending more time with Elizabeth and her family.
