Massimo’s apartment is beautiful and is in a great location to explore Bologna. He’s an excellent host and really helped us out when we accidentally left the key in the apartment. In the heart of Bologna, we had access to dozens of cafes, restaurants and the university. For travelers arriving by car - be very careful. Bologna has many one way streets and bus/taxi only streets that are not well marked. However the streets have cameras to detect violators. One of these streets, Dei Mille, is just adjacent to the apartment. Next time I visit Bologna, I will leave the car outside the city.
