We stayed at Alina's place in Bologna for three nights in July. We did not meet Alina in person, but communication regarding check-in and -out went fine. It was very nice of Alina was to let us leave our bags in the apartment for a couple of hours after check-out, so that we could still explore the city without luggage before taking a bus in the afternoon. The apartment was clean and had everything that was advertised. There was even an AC in the living room (which,however, broke down on the third day). The flat is not particularly modern--one day during heavy rain water was coming inside through multiple windows--but good value for the price. We would stay there again.
