We had the best stay at Ilaria's place and fell completely in love with Bologna. It truly felt like a home away from home. Location wise I don't think you could pick anywhere better in the city to stay! You can walk everywhere from the apartment and the main square (Piazza Maggiore) along with all the surrounding shopping streets and streets filled with great places to eat and drink is under 5 minutes walk away. It was also a surprisingly quiet night's sleep considering how close it is to the bustling centre! Ilaria herself was an amazing host. She always responded really quickly and was very accommodating, meeting us herself for check in. Ilaria also went out of her way to give us loads of things to do and places to eat and drink in Bologna which definitely contributed to our love of the city. She also provided some refreshments which was really lovely of her. We absolutely loved our stay and will be planning our trip back very soon. If you're thinking of visiting Bologna, DEFINITELY stay here, it's incredibly good value for money.
