Even though we arrived in the middle of the night Lavern stayed up and gave us a comfortable check-in. Lavern is a very warm, friendly, active and talkative host who gives a lot of advice and even gave us a short tour of Bologna together. She also made us an amazing breakfast and after finding out that we have in common that we both like to cook, she offered us a Bolognian cooking experience where we made pasta and sauces together.
The apartment is decorated with a lot of love and the bed is very comfortable. The only thing that is important is to bring ear-plugs because the street next is quite noisy. But of course, this also meant that the apartment is super central and you get everywhere by foot easily.
She was also very thoughtful to the Pandemic-Situation by e.g. offering to wear a mask and giving us hand-sanitizer as soon as we arrived.
All in all, it was a great experience and we would recommend it to anyone who really wants to get to know Bologna!
