Staying in Gabriele’s apartment was a wonderful way to experience Bologna. He was a great host who went out of his way to ensure that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. From the time we booked until the day we arrived, he was easy to contact and communicate with. Gabriele generously supplied provisions to start us off, and there were many helpful things in the apartment too. It was comfortable, cosy and very nicely decorated to give it a really welcoming feel. It was spotlessly clean and felt really safe. Close to public transport, shops and the lively central part of Bologna, it was a perfect base from which to explore, walking through the amazing porticos. Gabriele’s mother welcomed and farewelled us and was friendly and welcoming on our arrival-we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely place to stay.
