Mari was a fantastic friendly host who greeted us as arranged, showed us around the accommodation and then took the time to explain about the local area, the history of the city and recommended some excellent restaurants and places to visit - that we would not have known about otherwise. A very personal welcoming approach and outstanding communication during our stay. Mari's apartment is in a perfect location to see all in Bologna and also access the railway station, we took the fast train to Florence for a day - so easy to do. The apartment was clean, well equipped and very spacious with air conditioning and a beautiful outside terrace. Local food shop a couple of minutes away which sells all you could need. Bologna is a beautiful city with an immense amount of history and wonderful places to eat and relax. We had a wonderful time.
