Frankly, we were just lucky to find Guilio's Loft available, and as we predicted to him, we should have stayed longer in Bologna. But this can be remedied. We will return.

Guilio's place here is eye popping. There is consideration in every detail. And it appears that he considered he might have to stay in it himself as the bed and pillows are comfortable to the max.

This is a distinctive exception to many other aesthetically glorious listings that otherwise fail upon the point where you are going to spend six to eight hours, either resting or tossing and turning. We rested.

The front door presents an interesting triangle for the trigonomically inclined. Directly across the street, Bunny Beer, to the right a couple of doors a Trattoria that is perfect for a reposte while waiting to meet up if you've arrive early, and to the left a morning coffee house that took no notice that my wife was in fleece pajamas and my hair had me looking like a bad Charles Manson. I was more surprised to see my wife on the streets in pajamas.

It is walking distance to everywhere. Well, not Roma, but nearly every where. And when Guilio suggests a restaurant, go there! We did, Osteria la Traviata, and had a pumpkin lasagna that we immediately tried to replicate when we got home. Quite successfully.

Unlike leaving, except for the wishing you were really staying, from other listings it is easy: go out the front door, turn left, go to the end of the block, turn right, go a half block, go down three stairs, and you are at a taxi stand to go to the airport or train station or where ever your heart desires.

Our hearts desire some more time in Bologna under Guilio's kind direction.
