A very warm welcome from Paola who is a great source of local knowledge. We loved how central the apartment is, you feel you are really in the middle of things. The noise of the street didn’t bother us at all at night, we loved the buzz. We tried a few restaurants, just steps from the door and all were lovely with brilliant service. We even squeezed in a day trip by train to Florence but made sure we were back in Bologna in time for dinner!
