Clear detailed instructions for how to enter property.
The door lock was kind of wobbly and we were a little uncertain, at first, if it was working right. Ultimately, it seemed VERY secure. Just difficult to operate.

Bologna is absolutely worth of visiting. The location of our apartment was great. Easy to walk everywhere, about 15 min walk to the center.
Unfortunatelly from the beginning everything was complicated. We had asked earlier information what is the amount of the city tax that we could have paid this beforehand and from where do we get the keys. I got answers to my questions when we were already at Bologna. We waited for answers at the airport, where I could finally among other things paid the city tax.
When we got the keys and went to our apartment, we noticed that we had a totally wrong apartment! We had booked the largest room with two separate beds on the top floor with a terrace. We immediatelly reported about this mistake to the contact person of the landlord but also to Booking.com. Our apartment had been rented out and we would get it in two days’ time. We hadn’t other choice, so we had to stay in this small apartment two nights. There was only one bed and a sofa-bed, which was situated in the kitchen. The sofa was very soft, it was not comfortable to sleep in it. We were promised financial compensation for the two nights we had to stay in another room. But we will not receive any compensation for the inconvenience this caused us.
In cutlery could be invested a little more. The water glasses were made of glass. But the wine glasses were made of plastic! And there were no champagne glasses in the apartment. Towels are made of thin cotton and there were only two of them. You can get more towels, but it costs extra. There could also be at least some basic supplies, such as salt, pepper and detergent.
This was our adventure. We were ”lucky” to arrive in Bologna during the daytime. What then if our flight had arrived at night? We need to consider seriously whether we want or dare to continue renting an apartment through Booking.com in the future.

This is a lovely, well kept and very clean apartment, with everything one could need. We felt at home straight away. Communications were good and quick at all times. The apartment is very comfortable and on a lovely and important road, the via Santo Stefano. Walking into the old town along this road offers views of wonderful architecture, and towards the end of the road the very important Saint Stephens Basilica.
If coming by train, the 11a, 11b or 11c buses go to and from close to the apartment, though check out how to purchase a 75-minute bus ticket for arrival, and another for departure.
We were only here for 3 nights, and prefer bread for breakfast. There is a lovely bakery a few hundred yards up from the apartment, but it doesn’t open that early (9.00 on weekdays I think). Otherwise there is a cafe recommended by Stefano just across the road.
I would highly recommend the walking tour of the old town which we booked through the ‘Get Your Guide’ site.

It was a great location and had essentials.
The bed had a waterproof sheet underneath which is not very pleasant to sleep on. The noise from other apartments is bad. You can easily hear people walking talking and everything else.
2.0 / 10.0
The location and checking in was relatively straightforward
Most of the facilities are in a dire need of repair. Washing machine had buttons coming off, the bath tub had holes where water leaked out, air conditioning was super loud so could not keep it on to sleep, a lot of traffic noise at night times. Lock on toilet did not work and a lot of cupboards couldn’t shut properly.
Photos did not show the extent how run down the place is. We were willing to pay a premium thinking it would be a comfortable stay but instead felt like we were staying at a budget motel with everything barely working.

It’s not often you find yourself living inside a novel — but for a few days in Bologna, we did exactly that.
Our apartment at No. 88 Via Santo Stefano, tucked under soft ochre walls and centuries-old porticoes, felt like it had been lifted straight from the pages of John Grisham’s The Broker. A mezzanine bedroom, a small balcony, and a view across clay-tiled rooftops gave the space a quiet, watchful feel — part safehouse, part sanctuary.
It was a little tricky storing our luggage

The location if the apartment is good. Since Bologna is a small city, you can be in the center in just 20 minutes, we like walking, so it was no problem at all for us.
It was a large apartment, but I can say it was a bit stuffy and dark. Other than that, we had no problems, there was a coffee machine and necessary supplies in the room. There was a fully equipped kitchen, but you should definitely wash your dishes :)
I can also say that it was good in terms of cleaning.
I recommend it to those who will stay for a night or two

It was really easy to communicate with the staff via Whatsapp. The terrasse was amazing. The neighbourhood the best. Equipment was very good also.
I was a bit nervous at first because messages kept coming in from different senders, check-in had another name than the others. In these times with a lot of frauds these things are stressfull.
I travelled with my 85 year old mother and I needed to cross her bedroom in order to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night - good to know if use the extrabed.

the attic apartment was beautiful, really quirky and cool, like the elevator that goes into it and how it felt like an apartment you could live in.
Originally they gave me the wrong room (may be a booking.com issue), but this was quickly fixed by whatsapp (thanks Guiseppe!). However when I got the room the floors were very dirty, and the shower wouldn't provide hot water, as well as drain properly. When I reached out to management again via whatsapp at this point I didn't get a response. Also had a maintenance worker come during the day when I was trying to nap to fix an inner door which apparently had been broken by a previous tenant, but then left without fixing it.

very good facilities, spacious bedroom with good terrace.
it was a little bit further out from the center than expected, however, the bus service was excellent.
5.0 / 10.0
Location fabulous, good TV, good sized flat, no street noise, appliances good & also provision of soap & detergent & it was mostly clean, attractive balcony furniture.
Flat is actually good but owner doesn't keep up with repairs like missing wardrobe & drawer handles & knobs, broken towel rack in bathroom, kitchen cupboards which aren't hung properly & therefore don't close properly & trash can broken off hinge, freezer needs defrosting, balcony shutter (right) needs the metal rod repairing in order to close, mid-week clean removed our 2nd pillow on bed because there were obviously no more covers for them, also dirty towels replaced with only small clean ones. Private parking as advertised but suggestion was Public parking. We still are not sure if this place is run by someone private or if it's a company because we had no contact at all with the host.
