The apartment is in a good location in the old part of Bologna. It is very secure, behind a locked street door followed by a gate that opens into a shared outdoor space (and then another locked door to the apartment itself). The outdoor courtyard provides a sense of Italian ambience (certainly for a U.S. traveler). The apartment itself is clean and functional and comfortable, although as one would expect, it is in an older building. But if you want modern, then you should probably be looking at a hotel anyway, not an AirB&B. And finally, Luca was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Check in was simple and easy. I have nothing to complain about, For the location, ambience, value, and service, this is certainly a five star AirB&B.
