We alighted from the airport bus at the first stop which was Via de Mille(6 euro about 20 min) and Maria’s Casa was about 7 mins walk in a perfect central but quiet place in a typical Bologna old building which was cool and solid.There was a supermarket 5yds away and a bar which did an aperitif and tapas buffet every night for 6 euros.The apartment was spacious,very clean and everything had been considered with a functional modern kitchen with oven ,cooktop,fridge freezer,great little washing machine,umbrella and maps to borrow,clothes horse to dry washing,tiled floors,super comfortable queen bed,air conditioner,double glazed casement windows and view of tiled rooftops.Bathroom had hot plentiful water in sizeable shower(left knob controls flow and right controls temperature).Mirrors in every size and ample bathroom shelving plus bidet and WC.Maria was a born hostess and delivered half an hour of valuable local knowledge in mostly Italian (with the map to annotate on the table)which we understood perfectly despite being Australian.
