  Nice, clean place in a lively location. We would stay here again.

  The place was nice and clean. It was a little bit complicated to find, but once we were in, everything was fine.

  There is only street parking, so we had to go to a parking garage that was quite a walk away.

  We loved this beautiful city - walk, enjoy, drink coffee!

  Excellent location for visiting central Bologna, but quiet as it is in a private courtyard. The apartment is well equipped, clean and comfortable

  There was nothing to dislike

  Ideal location for exploring the city

  This ground floor apartment was ideally situated near the city centre with plenty of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. Although Bologna can be hectic and noisy late into the night with its large student population the apartment was tucked away at the back of the main street next to a small courtyard. Even with a window open in our bedroom it was peacefully quiet throughout the night and we were not disturbed by the nightlife. It was a peaceful haven after a busy day. We loved the decor and the natural finishes in the apartment especially the ceiling in the living room. In general the apartment was simply but nicely furnished and very clean, also it was super secure so there was no concern over leaving valuables in the apartment while we were out.

  We would have appreciated having a kettle in the kitchen as we had to boil water in a saucepan to make tea, not a big issue but would have been nice. Be aware that this is an historic building and the access corridor is long and dark and there is not too much daylight inside the apartment due to its inner courtyard location.

  Too expensive for a basement.

  I liked the space, almost everything needed was available, it was clean.

  Although the apt is on the ground floor inside the complex, it feels like being in a basement. Very little natural light comes in, and the small amount of windows has to remain closed and covered with a curtain because it has absolutely no privacy. The apartment is located at the entrance of the building, where all the residents of the building has to pass to get in and out. The location is very close to Piazza Aldrovandi, which is not a safe place for women walking alone during evening/night hours.
