We had a comfortable stay at Massimo's cozy house. The flat was next to the center, so we had everything we needed there.You can walk in ten minutes to the two towers,Piazza Maggiore,Santo Stefano or Via Indipenza. In Via San Vitale was a very good restaurant,called La Brace (good fish) and very nice service.In the university area you have a lot of bars and in Via Allesandrini a Café called Opera Tulipani with a view on the small canal of Bologna.
Unfortunately we haven't met Massimo, but a friend of him welcomed us and explained all important things to know about the flat.
Thanks,Massimo, for the great stay in Bologna and the uncomplicated communication!!!
