In addition, Mr. La Ferlita will not be available to show you around before August 20. The search for housing normally takes two to three days, although it can take up to a week. Mr. La Ferlita maintains a list of furnished apartments in the city and will show you a number of apartments from which to choose, so you will not be forced to look for an apartment on your own. This will assist him in procuring the necessary number of single apartments. He will take note of your wishes, but he will not be able to answer individual letters.
Most apartments have from two to six single rooms with a common kitchen and bathroom.
However, some more expensive individual studios are also available. All apartments have washing machines and telephones. They will be furnished with dishes, pots, pans, iron and blankets, but will not have sheets, towels or other linens. Most apartments are located within walking distance of the University and are mainly in the city center. Some apartments are located outside of the city walls and will require you to make a five to fifteen minute bus journey to reach the Bologna Center.
