I cannot recommend Barbara's apartment more. The actual space is gorgeous - it's quite large with a nice layout, and it is decorated beautifully. It gets wonderful light, and given it was 95 degrees fahrenheit while we were there, we appreciated the air conditioning in the bedroom at night (it is available in all rooms, too!). Secondly, the location was perfect for us. There are so many cute bars, restaurants, piazzi, churches, and more to walk around in the area. After coming from Milan and Firenze, we immediately fell in love with Bologna because of the area we stayed. Finally, working with Barbara was a dream. It was very easy to get the key, and she had so many incredible recommendations, maps, and books. We were able to see some great live music that we otherwise never would have know about! Thank you SO much to Barbara for the dream of a trip, and when we come back to Bologna, this apartment will be our top option.
