Irene and her mother Piera were the perfect hosts - accommodating, kind and helpful! They had even laid out a bowl of fruit for the weary traveller, as well as some helpful guidelines about Bologna, which was especially appreciated :) The apartment is optimally situated (less than 10 minutes on foot to city centre), full of light, well-equipped, and quite spacious. The neighbourhood is safe and relatively quiet, with all the shops and cafes you might need within walking distance. All in all, it was a perfect stay!
