We stayed at Nik's place for a month and it was really a great place for us. Nik met us on arrival and gave us a bottle of wine along with many local travel tips. He was wonderfully welcoming. We had a coffee at his place a few times and he even invited us to share Christmas Eve dinner with his family. The apartment is homey-kind of like visiting grandma's house. We appreciated having a washer and an equipped kitchen. Bologna is a great town to explore and day trip to other towns from. Would return there again.
