There couldn't be a better location in Bologna, just a few minutes' walk from the Piazza Maggiore, which is the very heart of town, and right off the Via Galliera, which is resplendent with gorgeous facades. The apartment is spacious and quiet, almost amazingly quiet given its central placement. Claudia is a helpful and easy-going host, and her thoughtfulness is reflected in a variety of ways, including the availability of Bologna maps and tourist information in the room and a kind offer of the use of the washing machine. An excellent place to stay in every respect.
