Michele's place is excellent - the bed is comfortable enough, the skylight lets in a lot of natural light, the waterfall shower feels luxurious. Maybe more importantly though, the apartment is located right in the heart of Bologna, so walking to great restaurants or the central piazza is very easy. The train station isn't too far either. Despite the great location, it's actually surprisingly quiet in the apartment -- the window faces away from the main street, so most of the time I couldn't even hear any noise from that direction if I tried, which made it the best of both worlds.
Michele himself is a great host. He let me check in hours before the official time so I didn't have to carry my suitcase around the city for hours between my arrival and the check-in. He also gave me an excellent dinner recommendation that was probably the best food I had throughout my 10 day trip.
