For our brief stay in Bologna, the apartment worked out okay. It was reasonably priced, nice accommodations for 6 people, (three bedrooms, two with en suite baths). Alessandro provided breakfast & coffee in the morning and allowed us to stash our luggage in one room, so we could site see unencumbered, before our train to Rome later in the afternoon.
Bologna has some beautiful attractions. The leaning towers were interesting, as were the arcades. Great dinner at the "Bear" , Osteria Dell'Orsa and a pre-dinner drink next door at the Jukebox Cafe.
After some morning sights, readied ourselves for the fast train trip to Roma with cheese, crackers, bellini mix & prosecco.
Loved the energy of Bologna, even without most of the University students.
