Although the host was not able to welcome us, he organised for someone to meet us at the door and show us around. Francesco was very welcoming, kind and his English was good!
Only a 15-20 minute walk to the centre, and with friends the time flies, the location was perfect, away from the hustle and bustle of the centre but not too far to the bars and restaurants and "gelato" shops!
All in all, very pleased with our stay and would recommend to others wishing to have a lovely Bologna experience. Will definitely stay here again in the future!
