We were honored to be the first guests in Cinzia’s apartment in the central, salumi -loving area of Bologna.
Our hosts were welcoming and easy to reach. They offered good advice for places to eat and things to do.
The apartment was perhaps the cleanest Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. And we loved the location. It’s hard to describe the energy right outside the apartment building’s door. The building is adjacent to some of the best salumi and cheese shops and restaurants you can find, and the narrow alley between these buildings becomes packed with people—food aficionados, lovers, families, friends.
The nightlife is energetic there, and the sounds of the restaurants below do come up into the apartment, but the main source of the noise quiets down around 11 or so, so it was not a problem for us. Still, if you are a light sleeper, you may want to consider earplugs. The noise is a small exchange for the great location.
This building’s lively alley is directly next to Piazza Maggiore, Basilica di San Petronio, and the fountain of Neptune, all very worth checking out.
We’d love to come back!!
