We had a great 6 night stay! The apartment was very clean and new. Much more spacious than it looks in photos. Very nice walk to Piazza Marjorie we never took the bus. Bologna is breathtakingly beautiful and the architecture is amazing. The location was great for us being across from the train and bus station. The first 2 days we had to go to the bus station for our 2 day DISCOVER FERRARI AND PAVAROTTI LAND tour (even better than expected). We also had a day trip to Verona highly recommended also. I'm so glad we chose Valerie's place so convenient to be right by the train and bus station for easy access coming and going. Great places to eat around the apartment. Il Panino A, Via Galliera, 91 had great sandwich's for a quick bite. A Coop market within five minutes. I read Bologna's train station was confusing but it was very simple. On the board when you walk in look for your train number and time that you leave and your platform will be listed just follow the signs. We had platform 17 (One of the furthest I think) and it took us about 15 minutes to walk there so leave the apartment 20-30 minutes before just in case. One of the best places we've rented! Thank you Valerie!
