The apartment is in a very upscale, historic building and location. You cannot be in a more central location in Bologna. We were amazed by how spacious this apartment was - didn't think there was this much room in Europe! The pictures don't do it justice. The bathroom is particularly nice (per European standards), and fresh herb plants on the window sill was a nice touch! Overlooks a nice, quiet courtyard. There is a little bulletin board area with up to date event brochures, maps, restaurant business cards, etc. If this apartment was great, host Maria Chiara was even BETTER! She truly cares about her guests and spends the time showing you the apartment as well as a detailed, handwritten map of things to do/see/taste in Bologna. Maria also provides, hands down, the most amount of food we've had at any Airbnb stay. Fresh fruit, milk, yogurt, beer, wine, cheese, snacks...plenty to get us by for our entire 3 night stay. Maria was easy to contact during our stay as well, answering any questions that we had. Thank you Maria for providing such a stress-free pleasant place for us to stay - we will be back!!!
