We arrived in Bologna airport soon after 11pm. From there it was a taxi of just over 10 mins to the apartment (€18 euro). This was a self checkin and all details of how to do it were issued a few days prior to our arrival. This was very convenient. The apartment itself is nestled down a small road with other properties. The bedroom is a good size and so too the bathroom. The kitchen and sitting room were more than enough for our needs (5 day stay). However the main selling point for this apartment is the patio garden. It gets the sun pretty much all day long and we used it a lot for relaxing in the afternoon (as most bars and restaurants are closed between 3.30pm to 6.30pm), getting some sun and reading a book.
Five minutes from the door of the apartment will take you towards 5 or 6 bars/restaurants, that are very handy to have close by. There is also a well priced small convenience store around three minutes from the apartment, that will have most of what you need to stock up. It is a 15 minute walk until you are in the centre of Bologna, where you can eat and drink to your hearts content.
My only big tip for eating and drinking in Bologna is to head to Via Del Pratello. This is about a 25 minute walk from the apartment and has a fantastic selection of bars and restaurants
