Gabriele's apartment is located in the heart of Bologna - it's at a walking distance from all tourist locations. The apartment is spacious, clean and has everything we needed, including a king size bed. The interior design preserves the charm of Italy without looking dated and don't get me started on the balcony... The balcony is kinda magical - it offers not only a view to the Two Towers but also a musical arrangement to complete the experience as the building is located near the Bologna school of music, which means you could be drinking your morning or afternoon coffee while listening to classical music.
Gabriele is an extremely friendly and helpful host with excellent English and excellent recommendations for places to visit. We'll definitely try to return to Bologna and his place some day... that is if we can ever get this lucky as I'm sure there's a line of people waiting to stay there.
