Francesco is an excellent host. His apartment "Penthouse in the center with large terrace" is perfect for visiting Bologna. The fotos are accurate, the apartment feels even larger than the photos suggest. Francesco met us personally, was always available for questions during our stay and answered within minutes.
The apartment is on a side street in a pleasant, safe neighborhood at the edge of the historic area. The historic monuments and plazas, restaurants, cafés, shopping and good supermarkets are within easy walking distance. There are several important bus stops 2 blocks away.
There are 7 steps in the lobby before reaching the elevator which then opens at the level of the apartment. The apartment is very clean and well equipped, with great attention to details and design. Bed, sheets, towels were all very good quality and very comfortable. Bathroom and shower were also very clean, well equipped and all functioned perfectly. Same for the kitchen. It was around 33°C while we were there, the air-conditioning units kept the rooms (bedroom and living/dining room) at comfortably cool temperatures. The large terrace has wonderful views over the city.
Francesco also kindly provided everything we needed for our breakfasts, including lots of fruit, varied drinks, yogurt, cheese, coffee. We highly recommend Francesco's apartment in Bologna and hope to stay there again soon.
