Manuela’s apartment is in an amazing location from which you can reach everything on foot, including several nice restaurants within a 5-10 minutes walking radius. As others have mentioned, it’s on a very busy street with lots of bars, but the apartment itself is really quiet as it’s separated from the street by a courtyard. The gelateria/ cremeria below was changing owners, so was just open one of the days, but had super nice ice cream!
We were there during a heat wave with nearly 40 degree days, so really appreciated the air con. When we used both bedrooms, we couldn’t quite get both bedrooms cool but it worked well in the kitchen area and managed with one bedroom door open as well.
Overall, it was a great place to stay if you need to be in Bologna during July, but if not, I would recommend coming at a slightly cooler time to appreciate the city and its wonderful food a bit more.
