Francesca was a very welcoming and warm host. She greeted us at the apartment on time even though we had been running over an hour late. The apartment was prepared beautifully for us. It was very clean and very nicely decorated. It looks just as lovely as it does in the photos. Francesca had even organised some basic food for us, milk, yoghurt fruit etc and a bottle of a local sparkling wine which was very welcomed after our long drive. Francesca also checked in to see how we were going half way through the trip and left us with maps and instructions on what to see etc when we first arrived. The apartment was well positioned just a couple of minutes walk to the centre of town in one direction and about 5 or so minutes walk to a beautiful big park in the other direction. We (myself, my husband and my daughter) had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone staying in Bologna. Jel and Marc
