I am a few days into the hunt now, and have seen around 6-7 apartments. Some have been small, some have been big, and all have been expensive. Below are various photos of apartments I have seen (Each apartment visit begins with "Ti dispiace se io prendo qualche foto?" ["Do you mind if I take some pictures?"]):
Making calls and visits has been fairly exhausting, but it's provided a great opportunity to practice my Italian and get to know the city really well.
Right now the front-runners are a large apartment on Via dell'Indipendenza (the Broadway of Bologna) and a smaller one just outside the city walls:
A presto!
Right now the front-runners are a large apartment on Via dell'Indipendenza (the Broadway of Bologna) and a smaller one just outside the city walls:
- The one on Indipendenza is really large, home to a dog, and the roommates are an Italian student, an exchange student from Spain, and an Italian woman in her mid-20s that works.
- The one outside the city walls is tiny, but I would have a single. The only reason I am still considering this apartments is because of the roommates: they are 4 Italian girls, all in their early 20s, and they are awesome. Whether or not I end up taking this apartment, I hope we become friends!
A presto!
Make sure that they have enough hot water, for your "marathon" showers!!
