Just back from our first visit to Bologna, and Serena made our stay at Via Del Porto just perfect!
She responded immediately to all inquires before arriving, and arranged an in-person check in which was welcoming and informative. Was available throughout the stay for advice on restaurants (my wife has Celiac disease, and finding gluten-free options in Italy was easier than in Canada) and tours/sights etc.
The apartment itself is perfectly situated in a safe gated property just a 5 minute walk from the train station, and 10 minutes to the historical centre of town.
Incredibly spacious, 2 floors with room for 6-7 people (we were only 5, and had lots of extra space). Laundry in the unit was very useful, too.
The full kitchen was great for us to have breakfast and make dinner once or twice. Looks exactly like the photos as advertised.
We were there during the recent heat wave (38C daily) so the air conditioning + fans in the apartment were a welcome oasis in the middle of the day and made for a much more pleasant sleep.
Bologna's extensive network of brilliant and beautiful porticoes provided shade wherever we walked, which made the heat much more manageable (very little humidity, unlike home in Canada).
Overall we can not wait to come back to Bologna, and will definitely stay here again if it is available!
