What a lovely apartment and what a lovely host! Right in the city centre, within walking distance of the major tourist attractions. Because it's on the main shopping street, I worried about the noise, but the apartment actually faces a small side street and it was very quiet. Everything needed was there, one couldn't wish for more. Francesca was VERY helpful and responded immediately to any queries. When I was leaving, her friend came to help me with my luggage, and even gave me a lift to the station! Lovely people all round. You couldn't wish for a better place to stay in Bologna.
