Having looked at many apartments for our trip to Bologna before deciding on Valeria's apartment, we were not disappointed! Less than 15 minutes from the airport by taxi and 2 minutes walk to the train station (if you get the bus) it doesn't take long to settle in and get out and explore central Bologna which is on your doorstep. The apartment is very modern, clean, tidy and spacious with a lovely balcony overlooking the Square. The sofa pulls out to make a sofa bed so I'd say up to 3 or 4 people could comfortably stay here.
Valeria was a great host, ready to meet us when we arrived and even provided some useful information about local favourite restaurants (Tony's was my boyfriend's favourite of the weekend!). She was also very flexible with our check out time which was much appreciated as we had a late flight home.
Everywhere in the city walls is walkable from the apartment, but there's also bus stops on the square and taxis, and even a new bike hire place had recently opened up across the street which was a great way to see the city.
Back home we live in a flat that overlooks a busy road so the noise of traffic didn't bother us but I would say if you were a light sleeper the downside of such a convenient and accessible location would be the traffic noise.
Thank you Valeria - 4 days wasn't long enough so hopefully we can come back and stay another day!
