The neighborhood is at the border to the historic center of Bologna. It's a 15 min walk to the city center. Directly in front of the building is a small restaurant, which is very good for a fast drink or simple dinner. If you like to walk a bit, then you really don't need to use public transport. Supermarkets, bakerys and Cafés are very close, which simplifies your stay. We had a great time at Silvias and Jacopos ==> High recommended.
