Paolo's apartment is modern, spotlessly-clean, airy, well-equipped and located in a charming older building. The apartment is wonderfully located equidistant from two merging train tracks - we really liked this aspect since it was nice to see the trains pass by however, the house is located far enough from the tracks so that no noise can be heard with windows locked. Paolo has put mosquito nets on the windows which is a really, really helpful. Nearby is the train station which can give you access to Bologna Central Station as well as a busstop with frequent bus no. 14 going directly into historic centre within 10-15 mins. A (really) well-stocked grocery store (with fluent English speakers :) ) as well as bakery are close and an excellent supermarket is a little further. Paolo was quick to respond to messages. Aircon was great for sleeping at night. Wifi perfect. Bologna is just an amazing city. We based ourselves here and explored other towns and cities of the region. Definitely need to return. Paolo recommended some local restaurants - they were all excellent.
