Me and my girlfriend stayed at Elena's apartment for three nights and honestly couldn't have asked for a more beautiful place to get to know Bologna. The apartment as well as the house are wonderfully kept and located perfectly just off Via dell Indipendenza and a short walk to Bologna's main sites. There are fantastic restaurants, cafes and hangouts in the immediate neighbourhood. Elena was very easy to communicate with and proved to be a fantastic host that welcomed us with a list of recommendations for our weekend, a bottle of vine and Italian cookies. We enjoyed our stay and can't wait to be back!
