The location could not be better if you are looking to be in the city centre but also very peaceful. A real traditional Italian apartment building with large stairs and high ceilings in the communal areas. It was very hot when we were there but there was air conditioning in the main bedroom. Full air con would be nice but the heat was all part of the Italian summer experience. You can certainly get the full Bologna experience here. We were there with our daughter and two grandchildren who live in San Francisco. We had four nights. Go up the tower, go on the little fake train up to St Luca. Try all the food. Great
