Lavern's place was brilliant and we would highly recommend it. Perfect location - no more than 10 minutes walking to anywhere we needed to go. Furthermore, the apartment was lovely, and the room was very clean and comfortable.
Lavern herself was an excellent host. She was extremely friendly and did absolutely everything to ensure that we had a good stay (taking us for a tour around the local markets, cooking us a delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner! And just generally going out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed). We only stayed for one night, but when we checked out we felt we had made a new friend!
Finally, it must be said that bologna itself is stunning and was easily one of our favourite cities. It is so compact and easy to walk around, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is amazing. We can't wait to return!
Thanks again, Lavern :)
