I stayed here for a month in September –October 2014 and the apartment has a great central location close to the University and to the two towers. The apartment is very comfortable and homely. Cristina was a great host, and was very welcoming and provided us with Bathrobes, and Welcome pack of food and drink (bread, jam, milk, butter, fruit, biscuits etc.) She was also on hand for me throughout the whole stay for any questions I had via text message/email. She also provided a map of Bologna, and important telephone numbers and directions to the nearest bus stops etc.
The apartment is very secure which was very important for me having previously had bad experiences in other apartments. There is a front door access from the street which requires a key to open, and has a camera and speaker so you can see who is there before buzzing them into the door. There is then the main door of the apartment which is a security door and has 3 locks on it. So I felt very safe during my stay.
The kitchen is fully equipped and has plenty of utensils, plates, cutlery etc and has an open plan design. The apartment is very spacious and clean and it is great having 2 bathrooms!!

Two things for future guests to consider:

1.The apartment does have a number of large animal heads on the walls. They didn’t bother me and I forgot they were there after a few days but they wouldn’t be for everyone I’m sure.

2.Cristina “suggests” that for a month’s use of her cleaning products and detergent s a payment of between 100-150 Euros!! Which I thought was a lot, particularly considering that the cleaners in her cupboards were all nearly empty!! I however brought my own cleaners for the month which did not cost anywhere near this amount – and would advise other guests to do the same, there are many supermarkets and discount stores nearby.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this apartment, Bologna is a great place and Cristina was a lovely host.
