Maria's apartment is even more beautiful in person than in photos. It's situated in the most central and convenient part of town so close to the piazza and various bus stops. Maria is the consummate host who met us at the apartment and gave us an extensive list of restaurant and other recommendations. Do go to these as they are local gems and not at all touristy. The apartment is perfectly stocked with food and all essentials, very comfortable and spacious. Bologna itself fully exceeded our expectations with its wonderful porticos and food. We can't wait to return.
