My wife and I stayed almost a month and a half in Franco and Patrizia's apartment in Bologna. They were fantastic hosts and we would recommend this apartment to our friends and family without hesitation.
We arrived in Bologna at the main train station and they very kindly picked us up and drove us to the apartment which is on the southwest side of Bologna within the old
city walls. The apartment itself is in the north side of the street and is completely isolated from any noise from Via Saragozza. The apartment is very clean, has a hard but comfortable bed, large bathroom with washing machine, and a nice open kitchen. Franco and Patrizia outfitted the apartment with almost all the cooking and cleaning supplies we needed for the long stay. And they were always available if we had a question, including when we locked ourselves out and Patricia drove 30 minutes out of her way to let us back in. The location of the apartment is great; very close to several good restaurants and about a 15 minute walk to the center of town. Bologna is a great city and this is a great place to stay. We would love to go back!
