This is a nice and very workable apartment in Bologna. It is convenient to the train station, and within reasonable walking distance to the Piazza Maggiore and the Twin Towers, and all the nice things around those places. Bologna in general is a very walkable and pleasant city. The apartment has two bedrooms, although a sleep sofa in the living room could turn that room into a third bedroom. The larger of the two bedrooms has a king size and very nice bed. This bedroom is on the street side, and thus is somewhat noisy at night, but we did not find that to be a problem with sleeping. The second bedroom is very quiet but is smaller and has a smaller standard double bed. We did not use that room very much, but it would work well for children, or a single adult. The living room is large enough to be a gathering space for up to 6 people. All rooms have individual heater/air-conditioning units. We used the one in the front bedroom at night (we like to sleep in cool conditions) and it worked very well.
The kitchen is pleasant, and has a window that is the nicest in the apartment (shown in the pictures online) that looks into the courtyard. The kitchen has rather new appliances. It seemed like the oven had never been used before, but we did so. It worked well. One of the best things about Bologna is the extraordinary quantity and quality of the fresh food available. When we stay for a week or more (as on this trip) we like to cook local. There is a wonderful Mercato del Erbe (covered indoor market) only about 4 blocks away, and additional markets near the Piazza Maggiore, a bit of a longer walk. The kitchen is not set up well for cooking, but we managed, adding a few items to those supplied. The stove and oven worked well. The dishwasher works well also, although a few of the largest dinner plates supplied do not fit in it. The refrigerator has plenty of room to store what you need for multiple meals and snacks. There is no toaster or microwave, and both would be welcome additions. The restaurant meals in Bologna are wonderful but can be overwhelming, and we had plenty of leftover food that we brought back; a microwave especially would have been good to heat those up for later lunches. In spite of the shortcomings, we generated a quite impressive meal for ourselves and four local friends one evening. You can make it work.
The bathroom has a sink with good counter space around it and cabinets to either side for storing personal stuff. The shower is a bit cramped but works very well (no sudden temperature changes when someone turns on a faucet elsewhere). There is a small clothes washer in the bathroom that can be used to wash a few things, although no dryer. There is a rack to hang things up to dry. For serious laundry days, there are two laundromats within a two block radius, and the one we used (Lava e lava) was efficient and had clear instructions posted in both Italian and English.
The apartment is on the third floor. There is an elevator. However, the lowest point of access requires about a half dozen steps up from the entryway. Not a problem for most, but those with a handicap may find it difficult.
The neighborhood is well endowed with small cafes where one can get a breakfast sandwich and a good cappuccino, and the proprietors were extremely helpful and friendly. There is also a good supermarket (Pam) within two blocks, to fill in with anything not available in the fresh markets.
Lisa, our host, was very pleasant and helpful at check in, and very responsive the few times we had any questions or issues.
Wifi service is included, and it works very well. We had some work to do while there, and the wifi supported everything we needed to do with no problems.
All in all, the caveats are minimal and my wife and I would recommend this apartment highly to anyone visiting the city. It is especially suitable for people on extended stays, and would work well for small families.
