My stay was good but could have been better at Via Altabella in Bologna. I appreciated the cleanliness, accuracy and value of location, and good communication up until check in. The kitchen was very well equipped for guest who endure longer stays in this AirBnB and the place was spotless when I arrived.
Francesco (acquaintance of Giovanni's who checked me in) was very helpful in bringing my luggage up all the stairs (4 flights!) to the AirBnB. After check in, I had to ask Francesco for the wifi information since that was not covered in the check in / welcome. Also want to note that after I connected to the wifi, it did not work the entirety of my stay. When I texted Francesco about this, he read my message and said nothing. This was very challenging since the minimum stay for this unit is 3 nights. I think this problem would have been fine had I only been staying 1 night. I am a lone traveller so I use my phone to look up just about everything / get around. My data plan only has so many gigabytes!
One more note is that the Bologna City Guide provided in the AirBnB, although at first thought is very helpful, was very outdated. For example, I followed the directions to one of the food/music spots and when I got there, I had to ask a nearby restaurant where the venue was. They informed me that that business shut down / moved about 5 years ago. This happened a few more times and then I gave up using the city guide and just went based off Internet recommendations.
Overall, I would recommend this to my friends and family if the wifi situation gets updated and the communication gets a little more fluid after check-in. I very much appreciated the great location and was able to see and do everything I wanted in Bologna while still feeling safe walking back to the AirBnB at night.
Grazie!
