Having been separated from our Italian friends since the pandemic began, we were very happy to visit Bologna again this winter. The apartment was perfectly situated, across the street from a pharmacy that provided rapid testing, next to a good coffee bar/pasticceria, and close to two grocery stores. The heat and hot water in the apartment were excellent. We slept well each night and made use of the well-equipped kitchen. The short walk to Piazza Maggiore put us close enough to the heart of the city. At night though, the street was quiet and tranquil. We will return.
