Alex was a discreet but attentionate and caring host (he had bought us cornetti because I had mentionned I fancied them). He advised us with nice places to go and eat and what to do on Dec 31. We could text him anytime. It was freezing outside but his appartment was warm and cosy. The neighbourhood was very calm and agreable, we used to walk dowtown in 15 to 20 mn. We certainly recommand his place to whoever wants to enjoy the beautiful city of Bologna. We came by car and parked right in front of the building for 6 euros a day and then drove easily to Ravenna and Ferrara which are worth a trip !
