Staying at Serena's place made my trip something truly special. Serena is friendly, very helpful and incredibly fun to be around (and as the Dutch would say, 'gezellig'). She made me feel right at home, gave me great tips to explore Bologna and helped me out with anything I needed. The interior is lovely, characteristic and warm. You have a great, big, private room with everything you could need. The appartement is very central, even right in front of the door there are great bars where the locals come to drink wine, an easy place to make friends. Though bustling, with the window closed all sound dissipated for a good night rest. The appartement is only a 5 min walk from the two towers and only a 15 min walk from the train station, making it a great location to explore Bologna from. Would recommend this to anyone!
