The location of the apartment is outstanding. It is in the quadrilatero, a lively area of food shops, bars and restaurants, yet only 50 meters from the beautiful main square, in walking distance to everything. The apartment is large , with a convenient layout. It is well lit and well heated, which have been problems that we have experienced in many other apartments that we have rented in Italy. It is a mixture of modern and old that has a certain charm, although the old furniture is a bit worn. The kitchen and bathroom are modern. The bathroom is large with a separate shower and bath, although to some extent there is more attention to design than practicality. The large sink has no shelf, and there is very limited space for holding personal toiletries. The kitchen is modern and well equipped although a bit tight with no dish drainer. We would personally have preferred an electric drip coffee maker to the Nespresso that is there. Also a microwave would be a plus. The apartment down the hall has two dogs that bark constantly during the day when their owner is away.
The superhosts Fabio and Marina were never visible to us. The apartment management has been outsourced to a professional firm, Mundus, and they were our sole interface. I believe that they do a good job, but the experience was entirely impersonal. The person who checked us in was apparently their employee, and she was not very familiar with the apartment. She had to figure out the appliances in order to tell us how to use them. She was helpful, but the check in process was brief. She was our emergency contact, but we never had to call.
Overall, we had a very good experience, liked the apartment and location, and would rent it again if we were in Bologna.
