We had a great stay at Francesco’s.
The location is great: just far away enough from the centre to feel “local”, but still a very easy 10mins walk to the main towers. We parked our car at the closest parking station (10mins walk, undercover secure parking) and just walked through Bologna (very convenient to do as the footpaths are covered with the “porticos” and it’s mostly flat).
The best thing about the apartment, was the air conditioning! It was between 33 and 36 degrees Celsius outside during our stay, and the 2 aircon units were quiet and super powerful. The apartment doesn’t have a lot of sunlight, but we were so grateful for the cooler positioning on those hot days.
Francesco was a great host. Very responsive, very thorough with his check-in and made sure we were comfortable by following up.
There are stairs to get up to the apartment, so this is probably not a good choice for someone with reduced mobility.
