Francesco was great. He met us at his apartment and personally showed us around and got us situated. He was friendly and knowledgable of Bologna, and even made reservations for us.
The apartment was very spacious and clean. I wish we had been in Bologna longer so we could have enjoyed the balcony more.
The apartment is situated about halfway between city center and the train station. It is in a quiet part of Bologna, so noise will not be an issue. A quick 7-10 minute walk will get you into the center where all the bars and nightlife is.
Great overall experience!
