Nicola was a great host. He even offered to meet us at the airport which we declined, but when he met us he was most helpful, showing us on a map places where we could shop or eat, and places to visit. The apartment is fantastic! On the fourth floor, but being at the back it provided peace and quiet and wonderful views. It has a well equipped kitchen and with fresh food available so close we enjoyed excellent breakfasts and cooked a meal for 5 easily. But mainly we ate out because Bologna has some fantastic places to eat and drink. The location of the apartment means it is easy to walk into the centre of the city quite quickly.
