Elizabeth and her English speaking family are very friendly, especially considering it can't be easy having strangers in your home a lot of the time. The location was good and Elizabeth went out of her way to assist me on occasions. She even drove me to the airport which was very generous of her.

Access to the kitchen was limited but then Elizabeth was up front about this from the very beginning. Fine if you are staying for a few days but awkward for long stays, unless you eat out every night. The room is also quite small. Good for one but would be cramped with two. That said the room is very quiet and having a private bathroom across the hall is nice. Breakfast was plentiful and could be taken in the small courtyard in fine weather.

I stayed here for three weeks for a gelato course. Others taking the same course seemed to have a better deal for the same price or cheaper , enjoying private apartments not just a single room,so do look around if you intend to stay for a long period in Bologna . In summary I would recommend this airbnb for single travellers without a car who needed somewhere for a few days and didn't require regular access to a kitchen or mind spending a lot of time in their room but wanted the convenience of being in central Bologna.
