Spacious, ground-floor apartments are unusual in Italy, making Cristina's place a blessing at the end of my multi-city trip. Even the bathroom and shower were spacious! Cristina stocked the space with lots of household supplies plus Bologna guide books in several languages and tiny sticky notes and pens. When I checked in she remembered which local attraction I'd said I was most interested in and drew a good walking path on a map for me. The space looked like it had very recently been revamped, so it had a less lived-in feel than many AirBnBs I've stayed in, but having a big, modern, uncluttered space to stretch out and repack all of our luggage before going home was exactly what I needed.
The one thing I wish I'd understood better before checking in was how very difficult driving and parking are in downtown Bologna, which is a Limited Traffic Zone during daylight hours. Cristina suggested parking our car and leaving it parked for our entire stay, and if that works with your plans, it's definitely what you should do. There's a small lot just outside the downtown zone near Cristina's place, but if it's full or you don't like squeezing your car through tiny roads, the next best option is an underground parking garage that's about a mile walk away, and a longer drive.
