Massimo’s place is beautiful. It looks exactly what you see in the pictures. It is very clean and you will have everything you can ever need while on vacation (complete kitchen, microwave, ironing board, hair dryer, cable tv and even musical instruments!). It is on a major street but it is very quiet. It’s about 5-10 minutes to walk to Bologna Centrale going North and 5-10 minutes to walk to Piazza Maggiore going South, and it is surrounded by lots of restaurants, from traditional Bolognese cuisine to McDonald’s.
Make sure you communicate in advance how to access the building and make sure you ask how the keys work, especially the one to the door of the unit (there’s a trick to it!). If you don’t speak Italian, make sure you have google translate on your phone to make communication easier.
We absolutely loved our stay in Massimo’s place and in Bologna.
