Marco's apartment was absolutely ideal. The location is very central, and it was very easy to get to everything I wanted to see and do during my stay in Bologna. The apartment is close to lots of interesting cafes, bars and restaurants, as well as easy for both the railway station and the central square. Having said that, the area was restful and quiet at night. The apartment itself is excellent value for money, and has everything you could need. It is light and spacious with an excellent bathroom and a pleasant little courtyard. The bed is also big and comfortable.
Marco was not in town when I arrived, and so his mum met me instead. She was warm, welcoming and helpful. She gave me everything I needed, and I had a wonderful stay. I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment, and would like to return myself.
