A delightful host with a very large and spacious apartment located in a family building. The apartments in the rest of the building are divided up among family members. The apartment is located in a quiet suburban neighborhood, that is just a short walk to the train station. The train is just one stop from Bologna Central Train Station, only about 5 minutes away. There are many trains till 8:30PM (20:30) and then more trains till around 11PM or 23:00. The friendly host is very helpful and knowledgeable. and further conversant in English.
There are two large supermarkets nearby, including one with very inexpensive food like Lidel or Aldi and another with a larger selection of foods. Also for gourmands there is a patisserie and coffee shop with some of the best desserts in all of Bologna, just a short walk on the main road (via Emilia Ponente. Moreover, two very nice restaurants, including a quite inexpensive but highly recommend pizza/oster with a wood pizza oven at the intersection of the main road and the road to the airport. (via emilia Ponente and via del triumvirato). The neighborhood is safe and quite even quite late in the evening.
