Alex's apartment was perfect, it was spacious, clean, comfortable. It had a nice little kitchen which accommodated all your needs, and coffee machine!! Very close to the bus stop, close to multiple delicatessens, a bakery and fruit shop. There is also a dairy vending machine next door, which sold one of the best panna cottas I have ever had! Alex was also helpful in providing a map, bus info, and recommendations for museums an things to do in bologna. Very impressed.
