We were warmly greeted by Nike to the appartamento. It was absolutely as described, spacious, traditional and right in the heart of the old historic part of Bologna. There were trattorias, restaurants and bars at the end of the street, with a friendly atmosphere and yet the apartment was quiet with windows overlooking the garden and trees all around.
After walking on old city streets taking in the sites, history and life of Bologna, it was very easy to walk back to the apartment for a break / siesta and then out again into the city.
