My husband, two young daughters and I spent a week at Elena's flat and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is beautifully situated about a 10-minute walk from the center of town, but with many cafes, bars, and restaurants just around the corner. There is a beautiful park across the main thoroughfare, and the flat is very well connected to bus links into the station or further afield. Elena was very accommodating -- we arrived in Bologna at a very unsociable hour, but she ensured we could check in and get settled before most of the town had even woken up. The flat was the ideal size for our small family, and we were very sad to leave. Grazie, Elena!
