We were very happy with our stay. The owner is a wonderful and helpful person. The kitchen had everything we needed. The patio is VERY nice, and there's also a clothes dryer. 90 meters from the front door is an excellent, large grocery store, and 100 meters away is an adorable neighborhood trattoria (Autotreno). Not Bologna's best food, but good to have. 150 meters away are several cafes. Old town looks far away, on a map, but the walk is a safe, straight shot, and takes only about 15 minutes. There are a couple take&cook pasta shops 8-12mins away, by foot. The neighbors are quiet, but you should lower the exterior window covers, to avoid noise from the 7am street cleaning machine. The locks on the doors are plenty secure. There is a lot of graffiti across the city, but Bologna would be a great place to live.
