A wonderful stay and hosts. For traveling to Bologna I can't picture staying anywhere else. Perfectly located, many restaurants, cafes, stores and sights nearby. Main tourist area is an easy 15 minute walk. The train station 15 min walk or a very short taxi ride. The pictures in the listing do not do the building justice. Being able to stay in a piece of history as beautiful as this is what brings you to Italy. The apartment is beautiful and exactly as shown. It looks like it was renovated yesterday. Irene and Alan are excellent hosts. Communication was fast and friendly. Bologna itself is a breathtaking place that is fun, alive and friendly. We do not speak much (hardly any) Italian and we were able to do everything. Food is very reasonable and amazing. And the kitchen is well supplied if you like to eat -in. Comfortable bed, dining area and living room complete the picture. Go now!
