We had a very nice stay in Nicola and Martina's apartment. It is newly renovated, and the room had a balcony with a beautiful view. The location is perfect for exploring the city, and the street where the apartment is located is itself on a very pleasant walking street, complete with nice local restaurants and crafty bars. Nicola was really helpful with recommendations of where to go/ what to do - Bologna is a great, easy-going town indeed.
