I had stayed at Andy's house for six nights. He is an interested, goodwilling host, tried to solve the two problems that has emerged. The first and most important was the heating problem. There was an airconditioner that made a very high (roaring!!) sound and it wasn't possible to let it turned on more than a few minutes because of the sound. Andy brought an electrical heater and I have used it. It was ok for me but I don't know if it will be enough for real winter time. The second was the coffee cooker which was left wet and closed firmly probably by the former guest, so new lives had emerged in it!!! It wasn't possible to use it. Next day Andy had brought a new coffee cooker and a kettle as bonus! So there wasn't any problem left :) Apart from that, during check-in, he gave me maps and guides of Bologna. He had left many snacks and all kinds of things to prepare dishes at home. He was easy to communicate although my Italian was very poor and his English was not perfect. :))
The house is at a very nice point of the city. Just 10 minutes of walking both to the central station and to Piazza Maggiore, so it's easy to reach everywhere. There are many nice restaurants and bistros around (one of them is under the apartment and since it's close to the university district, there may be some noise during the weekend nights but it wasn't a problem for me).
The house, especially the kitchen was very clean. The bathroom didn't seem to be in a perfect conditon but it's because the materials are not new and since everything is clean, it wasn't a problem.
There are some changes in the house when compared with the pictures. A brand new TV is placed to the living area and the places of the furniture has changed which is for me a plus..
I had a nice time at Andy's place and will stay there if I go to Bologna again..
