Carlotta is a perfect host and her apartment is charming, though being at the top of a six-floor walk-up, it will keep your calves in shape! As another reviewer has mentioned, she provided a bottle of wine for us when we arrived, as well as muffins, cereal and other breakfast stuff. She speaks French fluently and can manage English too. She is extremely kind and accommodating: when we changed our plans at the last minute and requested to stay another couple of days, she gave us a discount on the extension! She gave us a guidebook to Bologna, told us where the best nearby restaurants were, and spent half an hour going over the apartment with us to make sure that we understood how to use everything from the plumbing to the light switch above the precipitous stairs.
We will definitely stay again in her suite if possible.
