Great location. Balcony overlooks people walking by. Not in most touristy part of town but still good place for people watching and short walk to Piazza Maggiore and other landmarks. Nearby grocery store, gym, late night pizza and cafes. Also ~10 min walk to Bologna Centrale if you want to go to Modena or other nearby cities. The streets can be noisy with the garbage trucks but the wooden shutters block out most of the noise so was not a problem. AC only in bedrooms but was powerful enough to keep entire place cool during our stay. Would stay here again and would recommend this place to a friend.
