The apartment is located about a 15 minute walk from the bus station and a 10 minute walk from the train station Bologna Centrale. It's a 10-15 stroll to Piazza Maggiore, but you walk through busy streets with plenty of shops and markets to look at.
The neighbourhood is safe. Maria is a great host, she keeps to herself, but is around if you need her. The bedroom is big. The bed is a sofa bed, ok for 1-2 nights, but any more and you'd have quite a sore back. The bathroom is big and always tidy. Maria also allowed us to use her kitchen which was well equipped.
Great room, would recommend.
