UR-NEST Piazza Maggiore

I loved my stay at this apartment for 2 weeks in Bologne. I met the host at the Mango shop on via Rizzoli and the apartment is through a secured gateway nearby. There's a small lift up to the apartment floor. The apartment had everything I needed for my stay. The kitchen has a microwave, fridge, cooker; the bathroom is huge and includes a washing machine and spacious shower. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of storage space. The sitting/dining area was exactly as shown in the photos. While there were 2 large windows, there isn't a huge amount of natural light as there are buildings directly opposite, especially in the kitchen but as I was out most of the day, this wasn't an issue for me. There was some street noise and there was a party either in the apartment building or in the nearby pub on one of the nights but again, not a big deal for me! I loved the central location - opposite Piazza Maggiore and within easy walking distance of the train station (about 20 mins walk). Lots of shops and restaurants all around - I was spoiled for choice! I felt very safe both in and around the area. Just one thing to note, I couldn't book a taxi at the weekend as via Rizzoli is pedestrianised from late Friday night until Monday morning but there is a taxi rank on the far side of Piazza Maggiore or the bus stop to the train station was about 10 minutes walk away. Also the bins for the apartment are across the main street.

I wasn't aware of the EUR300 deposit required on arrival but it was returned promptly after my departure.

Le mode de chauffage

Highly recommended apartment in the historic center of Bologna. The space is very comfortable, clean and they have everything you need to make your stay very comfortable. The people who give you support are always willing and are very quick problem solvers. We will definitely be back on our next trips!

Apartment location

Very difficult check in process, very agressive and unfriendly behaviour of the guy handing the apartment keys. Lots of hidden costs. Upon arrival we needed to pay an extra 12 euro City tax and another 40 euro pennalty for checking in after 19:00, for which we didn't receive any receipt. Moreover we arrived at 21:56 but the host didn't answer our call until 22:05 and asked us for extra 20 euro penalty for checking in after 22:00.
