We arrived earlier than we had arranged , (sat nav error!) but Francesco took this all in his stride and rushed to the apartment to meet us with a cheery 'Ciao' ! We were able to park our car in a private parking space, which was essential in Bologna - where parking is at a premium. The apartment was modern, clean and well equipt. Francesco talked us through everything we needed to know - including local knowledge about good places to eat and visit. The outside terrace area provided spectacular views over the bologna skyline and was a lovely environment in which to relax. Our bed was comfortable and the whole flat has air conditioning - very welcome in the Bologna heat. The welcome of fresh fruit in our bedroom was a nice touch. Francesco kept in touch, without being intrusive in any way to ensure that we were happy with everything during our stay. A first class airbnb with exceptional hospitality. Would highly recommend.
