Andrea’s apartment is bright, clean, well located, quiet and safe. It is well set up and there is little that one could want for. He kindly supplies some things for breakfast, gives excellent information about the apartment and the city and communicates well. Andrea was away whilst I was in Bologna, so his mother, Edda, looked after me well upon my arrival. There is private, safe parking, the apartment itself is very safe and quiet. There is a nice balcony, as well as a comfortable couch and separate bedroom. The bed is huge and comfy. The temperature in the apartment was also just right. It is a great plus to have a washing machine and I very much appreciated it. The kitchen is well set up and supplied and there are two supermarkets only minutes away. The bus to the city (21,direction Finlanda) is very close by. You buy your ticket in the bus, so that is easy (1.50 euro). You can also walk to the University district within 10 minutes. The area is near the Fiera, but is an authentic part of the city with a whole mix of people living there, giving it a richness and the visitor an insight into every day Italy. If you are driving, there is a service station around the corner and it is easy to get to and from the Autostrada. I can’t recommend this place and this host enough. If I return to Bologna, I would want to stay here again.
