Paolo made our stay in Bologna better than we could have imagined. From his flexibility with check-in, to his detailed instructions for arriving into the city center ZTL (limited traffic zone), and his over-the-top hospitality, Paolo is easily the best host we've ever had in my entire experience on Air BnB. There were many personal touches to the apartment, with the most welcome gifts I have encountered as a guest, ranging from bottled water, coffee, wine, and snacks. The apartment is both private, safe, and located just several blocks from the city center. There are many delicious osterias, trattorias, bars, and gelaterias all within 5 minutes walking distance of the front door. We especially appreciated his flexibility with check-in and checking out, since we had traffic arriving into Bologna and also a cooking class scheduled, Paolo made no fuss about us checking in later than anticipated given that he lives in the same building. Very responsive and generous host - do not hesitate to book his place! Also he wins the award for the best shower water pressure for our entire two week stay across Europe! We couldn't possibly recommend that you stay in another place. We'll definitely book it again the next time our travel plans include Bologna!
