Nicola's apartment was our second last stay after more than month in Italy. Nicola's warmth and care our comfort, his fabulous apartment and Bologna itself made this our favourite experience in Italy. The photographs are completely accurate the apartment is beautiful but an added plus for us were the pieces of art, books and curios he has collected with good taste from many places. The bed and shower were first rate, always important for travellers. Nicloa keep telling us about things on in Bologna of which there were many including free music films. One night we ran in to him by chance and he brought us beers, we own you Nicloa when you are in Melbourne. Arrival and communication were super easy and relaxed. Finally Bologna itself should not be missed in your rush from Florence to Venice, to us it deserved at least the 4 nights we stayed. There are many things to see, an abundance of cultural events (many free) and a lack of tourists meaning you have time to have meaningful conversations with the locals. Hi
