This was my first airbnb rental and it set the bar very high for future rentals. The apartment was wonderful, clean, and incredibly well stocked with food, wine, bathroom supplies, and soaps for washing clothes, dishwasher, and hands. There was a wonderful breeze flowing through the wonderfully large windows with lots of natural light in the apt. The neighbourhood was fantastic and our greatest dining experiences were within 15 minute walk. Grocery stores, bars, and public transportation were all right in the neighbourhood. Having been to Italy before, I wondered how I would like Bologna. I loved it. The food, the art, the diversity of architecture, but most of all the people. Paola and Michele represent that wonderful warm spirit in the Italian people I have had the pleasure of meeting. Paola communicated often with us, offered good advice on places to visit, restaurants, and tips for getting around. As I mentioned earlier she had stocked food ( including an entire jar of biscotti that I wasted no time in completely devouring). For me the apartment was that wonderful mix of contemporary design and timelss heritage. For my wife and I, this apartment was like having our own pied 'a 'terre, in a wonderful city. Thank you Paola and Michele for for making my first airbnb experience a great one. We will be back.
