The best thing about this apartment was the location, only steps away from the two towers and Piazza Maggiore. No need for a car; you can walk everywhere. Being tucked into a small side street meant that street noise was minimal, which can sometimes be an issue in Bologna. Comfy bed. Great shower, with good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Good quality appliances, though we did not use the dishwasher or washing machine. I would recommend adding some instruction about trash and recycling. Also, the kitchen needs a cheese grater. The apartment had plenty of space--more than we needed--and would be great for a family, as long as the kids were old enough to manage the stairs to the loft area.
