Andrea and Salvo were wonderful hosts! Check in & check out were very smooth and easy. The apartment is smaller than I thought but it was no problem! There is an elevator which is very helpful for bringing up all your luggages. It is situated on a quiet street just a block off of the busy shopping streets. The location is super central and it is within walking distance to everything, including shops, restaurants, and bars! (The little bar diagonally across from the apartment was cozy and perfect for a quick bite and a drink.) the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to fix some coffee & breakfast. Some basic cooking ingredients like oil or vinegar would have been a great add for anyone making more than just toast. The beds, even the sofa bed, are very comfortable, and we all got great sleep. Bologna can be a little chilly in December, but the apartment was very warm all throughout.
Another notable upside is that there is a little office in the lobby where someone is always around during normal business hours. This was super convenient for asking any questions or booking a taxi. The staff were courteous, kind, and accommodating.
My only constructive criticism would be that the shower booth was quite small, and could use some thorough cleaning. There was also some sort of jacuzzi feature in the shower that didn’t seem to work.
Other than that, it was a very comfortable & perfectly situated home base in Bologna! :) Thank you!
