Paola was (and is) wonderful--she is gracious, stylish and very helpful. The apartment is super cool and full of lots of excellent books, a very nice bed and very nice hand creams--perhaps she secretly works for L'Erbolario di Lodi because I bought about 10 Kgs worth of their products to take home after sampling some of them in the apartment.

But this was also simply a marvelous space and my wife and I loved every minute. Bologna is wonderful and this place only made our stay that much better. In all honesty in the 4 years I've been using sites like this, this was probably the best all-around place I've stayed. It's also only a block from the main peripheral bus route, which is pretty nice if you want to make any side trips.

If you visit Bologna, this is the place to stay. (BTW--excellent gelato only 2 blocks away.)
