Luisa and Gerardo's place is ideally situated in Bologna. Near the main center but uniquely quiet and a stone's throw away from one of the best wine shops, a small but convenient grocery store, plus plenty of great bars/cafes. The place itself is stylish, warm, and if you're staying for a longer period the washer will come in handy for sure.
But the main thing that made our stay unique was that Luise and Gerardo went out of their way to hopefully find an expensive poster I purchased (but forgot) at a café near the train station; find it; then ship it to me in another city in Italy just in time before I departed back to the USA. For that I am forever grateful.
