Rebecca at Realkasa is top notch, grade A support! Always available and provides timely information.
The Attic apartment on via della Independeza is a funky, cozy apartment perfect for a family of 4. Just learn to duck so you don’t hit your head on the beams! ;-)
Speaking of the beams, these are original wood timbers dried in the traditional method by smoking the wood. This leaves a distinctive smell that permeates the space, kind of like a left-over campfire. It’s not overpowering and it certainly doesn’t leave a lingering smell in your clothes. Just be aware - there’s a scent of woodsmoke when you enter the flat.
As for the location, it’s within the city “walls,” close to the duomo, university, due torre, restaurants, etc. It’s within 100m of Parco della Montagnola with its nightly summer concerts and Piazza dell’8 Agosto with its HUGE Friday and Saturday market and (sometimes) lively political, and loud, protests.
In short this is a great place to stay for a full immersion experience of life in Bologna.
