Morena was helpful from the start, responding quickly to our enquiries and giving directions for getting into the city and meeting her. Don't make the mistake we did (our fault) of driving in through the city walls. You need to park outside, then walk in and collect a pass from Morena Morena met us and took us to the apartment and showed us how everything worked. The apartment is very stylish and well appointed. Extremely clean and minimalist. If you want to self cater there is plenty of kitchen equipment. The shower is amazing. The apartment is situated right in the centre of a very lively district with a studenty, bohemian atmosphere. There is a bar above which means it can be a little bit noisy but the compensation is, you can walk to everything. I am very noise conscious but I was fine with it for the three nights we stayed. Bologna is a great city. We loved it. Not so big that you feel lost but big enough to be interesting and to have distinct districts, each with its own character, from studenty to smart and wealthy. There are beautiful piazzas and historical buildings, including of course the churches. We highly recommend trying 'apperativo." (Google it) The apartment is a basement so has no daylight which could be an issue for some if staying a week or more, but for a long weekend city break, it's perfect and Morena is a great host.
