I'm a small-town Texan at heart, but have lived in 7 countries and have traveled in 30+.

Send us any questions-we'll be glad to share more about the house, the neighborhood or nearby attractions at either place in Italy or California.

I enjoy listening to BBC 4 'Play of the Week', NPR 'All Things Considered' and UT Austin's Radio Arlecchino (Italian grammar) podcasts.

We had a wonderful stay at Naomi's. We were in Europe for over 40 days and Bologna was our favorite city due, in part, to staying here. You couldn't ask for a more central location. Our host during our stay, was away for most of our visit so we basically had the entire apartment to ourselves. It's literally half a block from the Two Towers and another few minutes to the central Piazza and markets. The opera house is also a couple of blocks away. There don't seem to be a lot of reviews about... More »

I really enjoyed meeting and staying with Naomi. The location of the apartment was absolutely perfect and it had everything I needed. It was very clean and comfortable. I had a really great stay.

Apartment had everything that we needed and was in an excellent location. Really enjoyed our stay in Bologna. Thanks Naomi.

Wonderful host, great location! I have spent a a couple memorable weeks in North Beach. Naomi was very helpful along the way, pointing out places to visit, places to eat, and was very accommodating with my apartment hunt. The space is clean and beautiful, central enough to walk to both Fisherman's Wharf and downtown SF. There are also three buses that stop at nearby Washington Square, if you prefer that. Coit Tower offers a stunning view of the city, and it's just two blocks up a hill.

Staying with Naomi and Megan was absolutely lovely. Their home and location can not be beat. Perfectly situated in North Beach (with amazing views, including a quick walk to Coit Tower, a half-block from a majestic church and to a beautiful park), you can walk to just about anywhere in the city (assuming you're willing to do some San Francisco hill-walking :). Their home is welcoming and clean and calming. And to speak of Naomi and Megan themselves, they are wonderful. Two of the most... More »

I had the most wonderful experience with Naomi! I felt completely welcome and comfortable from the moment I arrived. We went for gelato together shortly thereafter, and we ended up spending an entire day together on my short stay. I will definitely be back, and would recommend Naomi as a host to anyone visiting San Francisco. She is great.

Our stay in Bologna was great. We had never used Airbnb before this trip, but I do think it is the way to go. Naomi was very helpful with her directions and map to get to the apartment and to pick up the key. The location was excellent, everything was right outside the door.
Susannah

The flat was absolutely perfect for our holiday in Bologna- great location near the centre and the buzz of the University District. It was spacious, clean and comfortable and we recieve such a friendly service both before our trip and on arrival. Thank you Naomi!
Jonathan

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed staying at Naomi's place, though we were only able to stay for one night on our way flying back to the states. There were a few logistical problems with getting access to the apartment, but Naomi did her best to accommodate with a place to leave our stuff while we waited for her. I wish we'd had more time to spend with Naomi (who was not in town when we were there, but super nice on the phone) as they really were nice. They gave us a great restaurant... More »

Naomi's flat is beautiful - nicer even than the photos suggest! It's quiet, spacious, comfortable, stylish and homely, and it's in a great part of town. It made a great base for exploring Bologna and I really enjoyed staying there. Naomi was extremely pleasant to deal with, and most helpful and attentive. I would highly recommend a stay at her place.
Najmah

Naomi was a fabulous host! She not only assisted me months prior to my arrival, but welcomed me into her home like I was a part of the family. She also made sure that I departed from their residence on time for my early morning train to Rome. :) She definitely set the standard for my stay in Italy. I look forward to hosting her when she is in the states! Najmah

Sorry for the late review, Naomi! It's been a year since my wife and I stayed with Naomi in Bologna but the memory is still vivid. She was a wonderful host and her accomodations were very nice. Perfectly located to be in easy reach of all of the city. Naomi even served us an italiano breakfast out on her porch/roof. We highly recommend her to anyone. p.s. If it's your first larger Italian city, be prepared for how boisterous the university crowd can be.

As our first Airbnb guest, Naomi was great. We enjoyed hosting her and showing her around Austin. Hope all is well in San Fran.

Naomi was a great visitor. She has a great personality and could not have been more respectful and friendly. I'd host her anytime!

Naomi is one of the sweetest people I've ever encountered. I really enjoyed hearing about her experiences around the world.
Alyssa & nicholas

Naomi is great! She's sweet, kind and grateful. I recommend hosting her if one has the opportunity. It was a delight hosting Naomi, I wish she had stayed longer!

Nicholas

Beautiful apartment in a prime location - steps from the heart of North Beach. The apartment is tucked away inside a city block and is calm and peaceful, away from the bustle outside.

Naomi and Megan's place is in a super perfect location surrounded by shops and just steps from a park. They have a little outdoor eating area for meals, and their place is warm and cozy. As far as these lovely ladies go - they are as sweet as can be. I was just over there for a delicious meal and I'll be back again and again.

I'd like to get one thing straight first, I wouldn't know Naomi if I fell over her, which I am unlikely to do in Western Australia :-) However, I recently had a 'processing refused' email from Airbnb, and Naomi was the staff member who subsequently liaised with me about it. As a senior manager responsible for over 100 staff, I know good customer service when I see it. Naomi's handling of the matter was exceptional - sensitive, reassuring and practical. With Naomi's guidence I resolved the... More »

During my stay in the USA I had some trouble with my host and at the end I moved out. I called Naomi and she was sooo nice, sweet and gentle and find very quick an other host for me! Thanks a million for you help, Naomi!!!! ;-DDDD I felt miserable but you turned my stay in SLC into a big success ..... I found new friends at my "second host house"!!! ;-DDD We keep in touch, Naomi, o.k.?! Take care my dear! Best regards from Germany Alex

Naomi is really helpful and professional, dealing with the host with empathy. She is great at problem-solving and reacts on the partner's circumstances with care. I appreciate her helful personal. I am glad that she helped me to resolve my issue by part of Airbnb.
John

I just used this site for the first time to go to New York. There were some problems with the person renting the space we had booked-apparently not up to Airbnb standards and had been let go. We were stuck without a place to stay for our trip. I talked to Naomi about this, she calmed me down and before going to lunch I requested a new place. By the afternoon I had one. I think that Naomi is a proactive person and a real asset to the company. I'm just writing to say thank you to her for... More »

Naomi ha demostrado ser una persona muy eficiente para resolver problemas y muy considerada para comprender los imprevistos que surgen en las reservas. Para mí ha sido un placer gestionar mi reserva en Sydney con ella. Muchisimas gracias, Naomi!

I have been in contact with Naomi in order to arrange an apt. for us and I have only positive words to say about her. Naomi provided me and my family a fantastic opportunity, with kindness and understanding. I have never staying in her place in Italy, but as a person I find her honest and I am sure, she will do her best to give you all a great experince.
