Location was fabulous! So easy to walk to everything! Exceptionally convenient to have a grocery store & restaurants right across the street from the main entry to the building. The two courtyards leading back to Marcello's place were extremely charming & picturesque. His place was perfectly clean & the linens (bedding & towels) were of luxurious quality. The full size hair dryer in the bathroom was very much appreciated as well. Everything was new & modern, yet the area of brick walls & substantive main door created both charm & convenience. Main sofa bed was easy to use & comfortable. Having the washer/dryer combo was very convenient- although access to this space was a bit small but manageable. Overall, this place probably works best for one or two people. He had very informative information available about local & city-wide restaurants & places of interest- as well as a city map. This was very helpful for a first time visitor to Bologna. Marcello was very responsive. He even contacted a taxi in advance for my early morning departure which was very helpful! Highly recommend his place!
