Graziella's place is a great studio apartment with bathroom and outdoor terrace, ten minutes walk from Bologna central station and around the same to the main square. Graziella is a gracious hostess, starting us off with a bottle of prosecco, lots of bottled water, fruit and cake. Spotless apartment, comfortable bed and efficient ait-conditioning. The terrace is great for breakfast and warm-up pre-dinner drinks. It's set in a generally quiet area, with a few local gems like the bakery Il Forno di Un Chico and Gelateria Galliera 49 and a major Pam supermarket a few minutes walk away. There's a coffee machine and microwave only in the apartment so, unless you're a minimalist culinary genius, self-catering beyond breakfast and snacks is tough - but, hey, you're in Italy, why would you self-cater? Just a heads up, this is a fourth floor walk-up so keep your packing evenly spread. But sets you up with some light cardio to offset the carbs ahead.
