It was great staying at Giulia's place in Bologna. It was a short walk from the train station (plus there was an elevator- rare in Europe!) and a 10-15 minute walk to Piazza Maggiore down the main street.
Giulia was a lovely host, and spoke fluent english. She was easy to contact and quick to reply.
Her apartment was clean and spacious, with nice plants and lots of light. The bed was comfortable and heating was great during my winter trip.
I'd love to stay here again.
