What a fantastic location, comfortable place, and wonderful host! We are so fortunate to have found this place: it is perfectly situated right next to the Via de' Carracci entrance (high speed / AV) to the train station as well as just down the same street from the We Bologna hostel, where we had other members of our group staying. It was extremely convenient to meet up and plan day trips away from as well as inside Bologna. And the apartment itself is very nicely done and comfortable. The only minor issue is that there is a lot of traffic noice -- however, it's important to note that the ACs work very well (one unit in the kitchen/living room and one unit in each of the bedrooms), and with the windows and shutters closed, we had absolutely no problem with the noise. Our two little kids were comfortable, and we appreciated having a tub and shower. Franca lives next door on the first floor (European, second floor US), and she was always quick to respond if we had a question or needed anything. We will definitely be back, and we highly recommend the place!
