First the good, Eli is great, and met us at the apartment promptly on our arrival. She stayed and showed us everything, as well as giving us a few recommendations for the city. It is a well appointed apartment in a quiet area, a good 10 minute walk from the piazza maggiore, but that's not a bad thing. The view from the bathroom window as you have your morning shower is a great way to start the day! Unfortunately (and now to the bad), the portable air conditioning unit is not nearly strong enough for this apartment in summer. Granted, Bologna was having a heatwave, but other cities we travelled through also were and those apartments had air conditioning that could cope. We ended up sleeping in the lounge, and closing off other areas of the apartment to try and keep cool. So, considering we effectively had to turn it into a studio for our time there, not such good value. this would be a good apartment for anytime other than summer. Would have got a 4 star review otherwise.
