Great accommodation in a very central area. I was travelling with 5 of us in total so we had 2 rooms, one sleeping 3 & one sleeping 2 & it worked perfectly. Great price & great communication from the host. The check in process was so easy & great you don’t have to be there at a certain time. Would definitely recommend anyone who wants a stay in Bologna.

Bologna Review

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with our stay and how Alessandro handled the whole process. The property is more than affordable and allows amazing access to anything within the historic district while comfortably sleeping 5. We were provided coffee, drinks, snacks, and fresh towels/shampoos upon our arrival and had easy access to the host through WhatsApp. I highly recommend checking out this property if you plan to visit Bologna!

Nice Place to Stay

We arrived early and the owner allowed us to check in early. We used only the one bedroom. The apartment is spacious. The bed is comfortable. The kitchen is very nice. The bathroom is a little tight, but clean and bright. The shower is small, but it was OK for us. The apartment is located relatively close to the train station. We took a cab, but the walk is less than 20 minutes. The apartment is just off a main street. Coffee shop across the street, many places to eat within a block or two, a major park two blocks away, and multiple grocery stores within a ten minute walk. Most tourist sites are within 20 walking. Morning pick ups for our tours were within 15 walking. This is a great place as a base for exploring Bologna.
