The apartment is beautiful and in a fantastic location. It was minutes walk to the sights, restaurants, bars and gelaterias. Riccardo was very helpful and responsive as a host while respecting our privacy. Riccardo arranged for us to go to the apartment before check in time so we could drop off our luggage. We were met by Valeria who was very friendly and helpful. He also allowed us to have a late check out as nobody else was arriving the day he left. He was very responsive to requests for information before and during our stay and had provided a helpful guide to the area. For us, this all made him a perfect host.

The apartment itself is lovely and we loved the balcony and view from there. The steps up to the bedroom are steep and did take some getting used to but we managed fine. We were also pleasantly surprised that the bedroom is still a separate room rather than open which was fantastic as we had friends stay on the sofa bed one night. They said the sofa bed was also very comfortable.

We would definitely recommend this apartment for anyone who wants to be in a central location, in a lovely location and with a fantastic balcony and views (as long as you don't have mobility problems). If we return to Bologna at any point we would definitely book to stay here again.
