We loved staying at Paolo's place in Bologna. The location couldn't have been better. It is on a lovely quiet street, but just around the corner are many restaurants and bars. We walked to all of the attractions in the city center. It was hot during our stay, but the air conditioning worked very well. Paolo's friend met us and let us in the apt, then gave us an introduction to sites in Bologna. Nice cafe down the street with excellent pistachio croissants. Beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
