Alessandra's place is a beautiful apartment in a beautiful part of a beautiful city in a beautiful country. I don't think I need to say anything else! Alessandra is wonderful and always available to help. Grazie per tutti Alessandra! Ti mando il mio corso di inglese presto!!! The internet is 50 MBPS which is great, super fast, and the apartment itself is a cool retreat when it's hot outside. The bathroom is small, but the bedroom is big! The living room is also spacious, and the kitchen has everything you need, including a great espresso machine :) Well, we are in Italy. Bologna is honestly the most gorgeous city I've ever lived in or visited, and it is very well connected to the rest of Italy - the train station is 25 minutes walk away and from there you can be at the beach in 60 minutes, Florence in 35 minutes, Venice in 90 minutes, Milan 90 minutes, Rome 2 hours, Naples 3-4 hours....it's perfect! The apt is barely 10 minutes walk from the city centre, there's a lovely little Italian school 10 minutes walk away, there are great ice cream parlours on every corner, the best pizza, great little supermarkets and fruit/veg shops all nearby, cafes everywhere, and a gym 10 minutes away. Why did I ever leave?
