We had a great stay at Ilaria's apartment in Bologna. She is very friendly and quick in communicating. The apartment has everything you might need and you can even stay there with 4 people which would make it very cheap. Its already very good value for money. Within 10/15min you walk to the city centre but there's a nice park in front of the door where there's an outside bar and live music during some evenings. Also good coffee bars and icecream places within 5 min of walking.
The kitchen is fully equipped so if you fancy having some food there that's also possible.
Would recommend it.
