Our stay at Caterina’s place was special in so many levels. The apartment is huge for European standards, airy, and well lighted. Everything is spotlessly clean, the furniture is convenient and comfortable, and all necessary facilities are there. The bed and bedding are something else, we had such great nights of sleep. Bath towels are plush, of the kind you find in only the best lodgings. The shower is great. The wifi connection works perfectly and has good speeds. The location is convenient as well, walking distance to both Bologna Centrale and the old town.
And then there is Caterina, a really wonderful host. She welcomed us warmly and spent considerable time giving us valuable tips about the neighborhood and the city. She was always available when we needed it and checked to see if everything was all right. She came by for our checkout and even called us a taxi to the airport. She made us feel at home at her place and in her city. That is the gift of being a superb host. We couldn’t recommend her more.
