Gabriele's apartment is beautiful with a perfect little deck overlooking the historic center of Bologna. You can hear the music (jazz, classical, opera) from the nearby university and birds chirping in the morning. Gabriele was very friendly and met us at our check-in to show us how everything worked. He even had excellent recommendations for restaurants and gelato. Walk out the door and you're just steps from everything in Bologna. The neighborhood is very lively with lots of students. I would definitely come back and stay again here.
