Irene and her mother Piera (who lives in the building) made my wife and I feel extremely welcome and were always available to assist us in any way. W/in a short period of time I felt very connected to both of them. The description of the apartment and location of the apartment was 100% accurate and honest and is perfect for anyone that wants to be able to walk Bologna. We stayed for 3 weeks which enables me to give a very complete review. I am hoping to be able to return, not just to Bologna but to the apartment. For me it felt like home, and there is no bigger compliment.
