What a fantastic experience. Fernanda’s apartment is well appointed and very lovely. We were across the courtyard from her mother in law who was the nicest lady. We speak no Italian and she speaks no English, but we were able to communicate.she helped with the washing machine and loaned us a drying rack and clothes pins. The location is great, about a 15 minute to the city center and right near public transportation. The neighborhood is quiet. It is a perfect apartment in Bologna.
