I'll echo all of the other reviews, stay at Mari's cute apartment during your stay not just for the location and convenience, but for Mari too! Getting to know her was a highlight of our stay. She is so easy to communicate with and was very accommodating when we wanted to check in earlier and leave our bags after check out due to traveling and tours. The place is very clean and perfect for 2 or 3 people. Mari also gave us a little introduction to Bologna during check in with restaurant/activity recommendations, and even went as far as to make dinner reservations for us! Could not have had a better stay!
