Gianmaria kept in touch by email and phone before we arrived, and we were able to check-in earlier than planned. This was helpful as we could make the most of our time in Bologna. We were welcomed by the cleaner who gave us the apartment keys. The area is safe and interesting. There is a cafe opposite for breakfast and a very good restaurant -pizzeria nearby. It is a short walk to Piazza Maggiore and we found a bus route to the railway station. The flat is bright and spacious, with a sunny terrace. We enjoyed our time here.
