We had the most pleasant experience possible at Elena's apartment! It was even more beautiful than the pictures - lots of windows and light, the canal made the best night-time "white noise" that was awesome to sleep to, the bathroom was very large and the water pressure was great, the kitchen was amazingly well stocked (dishes, glasses, pots/pans, etc.) and she even left us with lots of food-fresh fruit, eggs, yogurt, etc. that we hardly had to do any grocery shopping! Elena was always available and quick to respond to any questions I had. I will definitely try to stay at Elena's again when I am back in Bologna.
