We stayed with Maria Teresa for 4 days in October 2017. Communication beforehand was easy and her response by e-mail was quick. She adviced us to take the taxi from the airport instead of the Aerobus. This is almost the same price, € 15/16. The room in the appartement is on the second floor. We were helped with our suitcases. The room is exactly like in the photos and is situated at the front of the house. Om arrival there was something to eat and drink, which was thouhtful. The room is big with 2 seperate beds, large sofa and enough place for your things. The wifi worked fine during our stay. After we unpacked we met Maria Teresa and she gave us the keys. She told us about the history of Bologna and gave tips about where to go, what to see and places to eat and drink. Every morning her husband made was a very large breakfast with bread, ham, cheese, nutella, jam, cake, croissants, coffee and tea, etc.
During our stay there was an couple from Berlin staying and the last day an Italian girl. They were al very nice and we only saw them at the breakfast table. Like it said in the discription we have to walk through the hall and kitchen to get to the bathroom. For us it was no problem at all. Everybody in the house, including the other guests, respects another. The 2 dogs are lovely and quiet, you hardly notice they are in the same appartement. The appartement is about 5/6 minutes walk to the Piazza Maggiore. From there you can go everywhere, you don`t have to use pulic transport at all.
The last day we had a nice conversation with Maria Teresa, who was very interested in our lives in Holland and the other trips we made. It was no problem to print the boardingpasses, call a taxi back to the airport and we could leave our suitcases until we left.
Bologna is a beautiful city, full of history and totally not packed with tourists. Best things: the best icecream from the cremeria opposite the appartement, the arcades, the shops, the piazzas, aperativo and the warm sunshine which we had for the whole 4 days.
Thanks again, Maria Teresa & family, for the warm stay in your house. We recommend it to everyone.
