Helene’s apartment is a perfect landing pad to explore Bologna from. The accommodations alone are lovely - from the terrace to the comfy bed, AC to provide respite from the heatwave we experienced during our stay, and efficient washer that made our visit so much easier. There are many special touches - including childrens books and toys to keep our baby entertained - rare in most holiday stays. But Helene goes above and beyond as a host. Her recommendations are comprehensive and excellent, she was quick to respond to our questions and needs, and she helped us out of what could have been a very messy travel situation. A beautiful place in the city and a kind, accommodating and attentive host - highly recommend a stay here!
