I stayed 5 nights in Gianmaria's apartment in Bologna and it was a great experience. First, he could arrange check in and check out although we were flying in late at night the first day and had to leave very early in the morning the last day. Before we arrived he sent all the information we needed to find the place, to contact him and about Bologna.

The apartment is very charming on the last floor of an old building, it has everything you need and two separate bedrooms which was great for the three of us. It's located in the old part of the city with nice restaurants nearby but the street is pretty quiet. All the main attractions are at a walking distances as is the train station (25 minute walk) so we never had to take any public transportation although you can find many buses around. We took day trips to Florence, Ravenna and Venice by train without any problem.
