The apartment was really close to the city centre, 10 minutes walking. And the via Saragozza street is also full of caffees and little shops with pastries and fruit. Apartment is cosy and very nice, with a small balcony, there is everything you need. We did not meet Gianmaria in person, however the communication was perfect, he always answered immediately and was helpful when we needed. Bologna is wonderful city a the food is the best!
