Review of Casa Letizia.
This was our first time using Airbnb, so were a little nervous about booking. We had always fancied visiting Bologna, and so decided to take the plunge and give it a go.
We chose Casa Letizia for both its central location in the old town, and how nice and clean and modern it looked in the photographs on the Airbnb website.
All contact with the host Letizia were very promptly answered, and any further questions we thought of were treated the same way.
The apartment was very easy to find, and it didn’t take us long to get the airport shuttle bus to the central train station, and then walk from there to Casa Letizia. We were greeted by our host and she showed us around the apartment, which was immaculately presented, very clean and well appointed. Letizia gave us lots of local information on restaurants, things to do, and because it was Easter what sorts of things would be open or closed. There is also a very handy printed information pack in the apartment for reference.
The location of the apartment was even better than we expected, it’s about 100 meters from the base of the Two Towers, and right in the centre of the old town, with lots of beautiful buildings and shops within two minutes walk. This does have one very slight downside, in that it can be a little noisy on a weekend evening, but we took ear plugs and it never bothered us.
We found the apartment very safe, well equipped, warm, and a great base to explore. The bed was a good size and very comfortable, the shower was always nice and hot, and any time we had to contact Letizia she answered very quickly and sorted out the problem (an alarm in the flat opposite malfunctioned).
I would highly recommend Casa Letizia, it's a great apartment with a lovely host, and we had such a brilliant holiday.
