We visited Bologna because it was featured in several "off the beaten path" articles. It is definitely a diamond in the rough and not overrun by tourists like so many other locations. With all the interesting aspects of Bologna city center, it is easy to see a time when Bologna becomes more of a tourist attraction.
Wilmar and Claudio's place was very nice. Very clean, freshly made croissants as noted by other reviews, comfortable bed, easy parking. We were able to do some laundry there which was particularly convenient as this was near the middle of our trip. Getting to the city center is easy if you take the bus but we opted to take the 45 or so minute walk.
