Francesco is a very welcoming host with a great apartment situated at a walkable distance from the centre. He offered us great advice and recommendations for eating and drinking in Bologna and is very enthusiastic about his music, which was excellent! We were initially concerned about the lack of air-conditioning since Bologna is super hot in July, but the shutters, open window and large space in our room kept us cool enough. An excellent place to stay for visiting the city, we would stay again!
