Monella’s apartment is absolutely beautiful and I would strongly recommend it t. It’s located perfectly – it’s not too loud outside, though you are about five minutes’ walk from Bologna’s centre. Monella was helpful and kind when we met to hand over keys, gave us lots of tips and advice on where to go and what to see and even helped us with our luggage. The room is bigger than it looks in photos and it’s worth mentioning again how stunning it is, I would have liked to have learned a bit more of its history as an old music hall. The kitchen is small but functional and is stocked with basics (though the flat does seem like a place to take a breather from all of Bologna’s wonderful food). The bathroom is warm and has a very big shower. I’d advise everyone and anyone to book this property, but do think realistically about whether you’ll fit up the stairs to bed after a few too many plates of tagliatelle. The only setbacks were never getting the apartment at just the right temperature (the heating works very efficiently, we just couldn’t make our minds up!) and the fact we couldn’t stay longer!
