This is a sweet spot! I traveled solo and this is in a very safe place, although I found all of Bologna center safe, both day and night. The photos are very accurate except for the shower since the photo doesn't show much. I can tell you, although not large, it's perfect with lots of instant hot water and a great shower head. Loved the tile too. The heat functions perfectly which is important as we head into the depths of winter. Paolo was very kind letting me check in a bit early. It can be difficult with previous check-outs, train schedules and check-in times to get this right. Paolo helped so much. He had a bottle of wine and water with coffee/tea and biscuits prepared. Very nice touch. He gave me his suggestions for spots to visit. WiFi works perfectly. Lots of channels on the TV which I rarely watch but I happened to get a flu so I was down for the count for three days. I decided to get comfy and stay in. I was so comfortable. There are lots of places where you can dine, get coffee or fruits/water and general shopping nearby. And a very good pharmacy close by as well. It took me a bit to get my bearings street wise but once it clicked it's easy. This really is a great spot to explore Bologna. I recommend Paolo's place very much. AND it is so clean. Lots of attention to detail to make one happy. Grazie mille Paolo!
