We stayed for a week in Nicola's apartment over Easter - it was exactly what we hoped for and as described. We are a family of 2 adults and 1 child (10 years). The location of the apartment is excellent for Bologna visitors. We did everything on foot including walking to the train station or car hire a couple of times. Security is good, the area is safe and there are shops extremely close by. We recommend the La Rustica Pizzeria/Osteria to eat, literally just round the corner. The apartment is really wonderful, lots of space, very eclectic and stylish, extremely comfortable, well equipped. We were delighted with the apartment as we were very busy in and around Bologna, including travelling to Milan, and it was wonderful to have somewhere to properly relax and feel at home.
