The location of this apartment is absolutely perfect! Its very central, ideal for any type of visit to Bologna! The host was responsive, although insisted on communication through WhatsApp rather than the airbnb message portal, which is always very annoying (as an American who doesn't have WhatsApp downloaded) and uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, there were a handful of disappointments regard the apartment itself, mostly regarding the way that the advertising did not match the reality of the apartment. The apartment is NOT a one bedroom, but a studio with a "bed nook" meaning there are no doors, so two travelers on different schedules can not avoid waking each other when getting ready for the day or night.
There also are advertised black out curtains in the apartment, but the actuality of this is that there is one black out curtain in the kitchen, and three non blacked out windows that get a lot of morning sun facing both of the sleeping spaces directly, so the light will wake you. But if you bring a sleep mask this won't be an issue :)
Also, the air conditioning in the apartment is weak. The AC faces away from the bed nook, so if you're sleeping in the bed, it is like there is no air conditioning, which is certainly a challenge. There is a fan in the apartment that you can aim at the bed, but I can't imagine having more than 1 person in the bed with this method of cooling.
Additionally, the apartment was quite dirty upon checking in (walking around barefoot revealed nasty floors), and there were no bathroom amenities. For example we were given one roll of toilet paper for two people for 10 days, one set of towels for ten days, and no shower soap, shampoo, or conditioner and there was maybe a few days worth of hand soap in the bathroom, meaning we had to go to the store to stock this apartment in all the necessities. These are little things that a host can provide that make traveling so much easier, so this place was very disappointing.
And I would also just like to notice that the apartment also desperately needs a mirror, that is more than 6 inches tall (and is preferably outside the bathroom so multiple people can get ready at once). Getting changed each morning is really a gamble, hoping the outfit looks decent all put together!
