A wonderful location, very central and close to the university quarter so lots of bars cafes and restaurants. The historic city core is easily walkable and you are near the railway station for day trips to Parma, Ravenna etc. Bologna has a beautiful historic core with delightful vignettes at every corner. However it is very much a living lively Italian city, not a manicured tourist resort, and you are in the heart of it. We walked the sights every day of our week long stay and saw a great deal but this was still a “primi” course with lots more for our next visit.
The food defies description, I considered abandoning my clothes and filling my suitcase with tortellini, ham and salami. The Appartment was lovely and Paola very helpful.
