This apartment is a hidden gem! Nicely located between the historic center and the University of Bologna, everything you want to do is a short walk away. Around the block is the picturesque window to the remaining canal in the city and a block away is the gate side of the canal where lovebirds put their love locks. The pictures for this listing don’t fully show how beautifully decorated the apartment truly is. There are so many wonderful elements in the apartment that you feel like you’re a resident of Bologna when you stay here. Luca is a very warm and friendly host. On the day we arrived, there was a TrenItalia strike and our original check-in time was delayed by 5 hours by the time we made it to the apartment, and Luca was gracious enough to wait for us at the apartment to welcome us with a happy smiling face. The separate air conditioners in every room was a bonus as the weather was still quite warm and slightly humid. Unlike many other places I’ve rented in Italy, there was actually ice cubes ready in the freezer and there was also a dryer for your washed clothes! Luca did an amazing job of creating a home, not just a rental space, for our stay in Bologna. Grazie mille Luca!
