Carla's home is in a quiet residential area of Bologna. The room I stayed in was large, quiet and private, with its own bath. Carla welcomed me warmly and introduced me to the area with a detailed map and instructions for getting to the center, train station and other sites in Bologna either by bus or walking. I slept really well. No street noise. Staying in a home like Carla's was what I needed for my last two nights in Italy...a friendly family environment with a large yard, sweet dogs and friendly hosts. There was coffee, tea, fruit juice and pastry for breakfast. I appreciated Carla and her husband's healthy energy and hospitality.
