Francesco and his family were such wonderful hosts. They were the prime example of amazing, Italian hospitality. I arrived very early in the morning and was welcomed into their home with espresso and cookies, and was able to leave my backpack in their home while the guests staying in the apartment (on the same floor of the building) we booked were checking out. The apartment itself was very clean, comfortable, and had everything that you would need. The bed and the pillows were so nice after a long day, and the apartment is a close walk to Piazza Malpighi, and there is a bus stop directly in front of the apartment that takes you to and from the train station. Francesco and his family were so kind and helpful whenever we needed something--and especially when we needed to visit a doctor, they printed out a map and drew a walking route and a bus route to the doctor's office. Francesco and his family are absolutely the best and I would not hesitate to stay with them if I'm ever in Bologna again. Thank you!!!
