The apartment is not located in the centre of Bologna but in a suburb. I didn't have the opportunity of meeting Emanuele, but the self check in instructions he gave me were crystal clear and he also gave me a prompt response to another couple of questions I had regarding parking, restaurants and the city centre bus service. At first the neighbourhood doesn't look appealing, but it seems safe as went to a restaurant on foot in the evening and I also left my car parked outside for a week with no problems at all. The apartment is impecabbly clean and quite spacious for only one bedroom. There is a good bus service to the centre of Bologna and it is near a big supermarket. Considering the prices of accomodation in the city centre Emanuele's apartment is an excellent option and I would certainly consider staying here again.
