If you plan to take advantage of the very well-connected Bologna train station to travel around Italy, Daniel's apartment is just minutes from the station.
The historic center of Bologna is not far away either.
Stores are close by. (There is a great bakery nearby, with excellent baked goods both sweet and salty. Pane Pasticceria on Via Guglielmo Marconi, 40121 Bologna).
The neighborhood is noisy, with cars driving late at night and from early in the morning - so if one is a light sleeper, it can be disturbing.
The apartment is as described. The standard is, like that of student apartments.
