Giulia was so easy to communicate with, it made our experience so easy. She and her cute boys met us at the apartment and she showed us where everything was. Great set of maps and guidebooks and menus of area restaurants were available to help us plan our days. We enjoyed discovering the canals of Bologna!

It was awesome to be able to do laundry and it dried quickly on the drying rack in the garden. The table and chairs in the garden were lovely, although the mosquitos were out, so we never sat out there, but it was very peaceful. Wireless worked perfectly, and the fridge was huge. The kitchen was perfectly equipped, and it was nice that it was already stocked with salt and olive oil.

We found Pratello Garden to be a perfect location. If you don't mind walking, you can get everywhere in Bologna's old city center on foot. Via Pratello is full of beer gardens where folks meet to eat and drink in the evenings - it was a vibrant and lively atmosphere, and perfectly safe (in case you were worried about that). And because the apartment is at the back of the building, we didn't hear a thing once we were inside.

We left by train, and it was an easy 15-20 minute walk pulling our luggage along Bologna's lovely covered sidewalks to get to the station.

We would most definitely stay here again!
