Neighborhood wasn't great, but was close to city center. Big problem was that we were not made aware of the street cleaning and since we can't read Italian, had no idea we would be towed that evening. I had repeatedly asked about the parking in the area and was assured it would be fine. So to wake up and have no car and then try to find someone to tell us how to find our car (host didn't answer my phone call) was awful. Turned out to be a $400 night in Bologna. Worst 24 hours in Italy.
