Lucia's apartment looked just like the pictures. She was in touch with us the frequently prior to our visit and checked on us once we arrived. She was unable to meet with us in person but made sure her son was there to let us in and show us how everything worked. He even helped us with our bags, which we needed after all those stairs. Haha. There are restaurants and convenience store within across the street from the apartment. The bus stop and taxis are nearby if you don't feel like walking all over town. Thanks Lucia for making us feel welcome in Bologna.
