Niccolò was very responsive and gave us all the info we needed. His place is one of the best decorated coolest little apartments I've ever seen. When we got there, he and his mother greeted us and gave us a really good overview of some great restaurants to try and things to see, which helped us a lot :) They were both very helpful and sweet. Bologna is very walkable from Niccolò's place. Make sure to check out the Vantana Al canal nearby. A tiny window in the wall opening up to a hidden canal in the city. Very cool.
