This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay in Bologna! It was in the perfect location, far enough away from the main plaza that it was always quiet, but close enough we could get anywhere walking in less than twenty minutes. The apartment itself was bright, clean, and spacious, and all of the provided amenities made it an extremely comfortable place to stay. We loved being able to do some laundry, cook a couple meals, and leave in the morning/arrive back at night without worrying about disturbing anyone. The hosts were so accommodating about our arrivals schedule when our train from Florence was delayed for two hours, and they met us at the door to help us get settled in. They were fantastic at communicating property in’s and outs, and were kind enough to reach out and check in mid-stay as well. We will definitely be staying here again the next time we come back to Bologna!

This was a wonderful place for 2 couples. We each had our own bathroom w shower. We cooked in or brought in takeaway a couple of nights. Easy walks to the city center and train station but on a quiet side street. Would highly recommend!

Paola was absolutely wonderful! Communication was great and she was very understanding when we experienced some travel delays. The apartment is absolutely delightful! very spacious, and she kindly left us some apples, oranges and bananas, which we very much appreciated after a long day of travel. Having two bathrooms made the stay even more comfortable, along with the washer that we used twice to wash clothes. The location was on a quiet street on the south side of Old Town, with an easy 10 minute walk to the main square. I would absolutely stay here again when visiting Bologna!

This was the best apartment! We loved having a relaxing place so close to the square! 3 bedrooms all with comfortable beds. Kitchen was well equipped. Everything was decorated so pretty and very clean! Very hard to get parking, so I would avoid having a car next time!
