We have stayed with Eleonoa's flat with two kids, and we absolutely loved it. The area is great, green and quiet, yet very close to the center (ca. 15 walking to the old town). The flat has a private parking place so no need to worry about that. The flat itself was very spacious and beautiful, extremely clean, with comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and any amount of towels imaginable :-) The hosts: Eleonora and her mother Alberta, are lovely and did everything we could feel well: from providing coffee and snacks to explaining everything we asked for. If you are travelling with a family, it should be your first choice in Bologna!
