Basically everything I'm going to say about Irene's apartment has been said already- it really is a great space to call "home" while visiting lovely Bologna. Our favorite part of the apartment was the back terrace- which filled the house with light and warmth even though it was early December... we could only imagine how great it would be in the spring or summer. The other two terraces were also very nice. The kitchen worked perfectly for us- we only used it for coffee in the morning and light snack at night (it's Bologna after all- there is some good eating out there!). The beds were very comfortable. I suffer from a fairly serious spinal disease so this always is a concern of mine- the beds in this flat are very supportive without being overly "hard"- I believe there was some memory foam involved, which is always a good thing. The bathroom with shower was good- hot water and good water pressure- can't ask for more.
The only issue someone might have is the weak WiFi (only found sitting on the left bottom corner of the bed in the master bedroom- one bar) . We really didn't need it much, but if one had to work or something, then this could be an issue.
Finally, Irene and her mother were great hosts. They were quick to answer any questions we had and made us feel welcomed.
