Andrea is a generous host, he was in touch with me before I travelled, gave me excellent directions to his apartment and was there to meet me at the bus stop. He warmly welcomed me, gave me valuable advice about restaurants and getting around in Bologna. His apartment is spacious, clean, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. I was there for a week in April doing research and it took just 10 minutes or so on the bus to get to the centre of town where I needed to go. There are plenty of options for shopping or eating out nearby. A great place to stay.
