I booked this place thanks to the great reviews. Barbara our host was consistently available to answer any questions, the loft was clean, and well organized. My family and I were traveling from Bologna Centrale to Florence, Parma, Vignola and Venice. It is about a 20 minute walk to that train station. The loft is cozy though the stairs are steep and have no railing as shown on the pictures, so be careful climbing. During the night is a very lively place with bars and restaurants with great food at your doorstep. The noise is minimized with the shutters closed, though on the weekend we stayed some drunk guys were screaming around 0400 and the noise woke us up. One thing that I didn't get to do is visit the restaurant across the street where they make home made pastas, so I'll have to come back just for that. Overall the experience was very positive and would definitely come back.
