Firstly, Carlotta is just the best host. She met us at the apartment with a bottle of wine, told us about nearby restaurants/ bars. Gave us maps and kept in touch the whole trip with advice whenever we needed it. We were flying at night so she even kept our bags and met us later on to hand them over. A truly first class host.
The apartment is in a great location. There are lovely cafes and restaurants right outside and everything else is a short walk away. The apartment is on the top floor of the building. Just over 100 steps up and the last steps are very steep, but the views you get over the roof tops are worth the climb. There is adequate space and it was perfect size for the two of us. The shower room does not have the best water pressure but manageable. The bedroom was spacious enough (fantastic views from the windows). The flat could have done with a higher standard of cleaning. Just a bit grubby from all the visitors that pass through and the furniture / furnishings are very old and could do with some new ones. Otherwise a perfect weekend visit, amazing host and the people of Bologna are so welcoming.
