My husband and I stayed in this apartment for one week in May 2019. We were fully satisfied with both the quality of the living conditions and the location of the neighbourhood with respect to Bologna’s city center (major tourist destinations).
The apartment consists of one bedroom, a living room combined with a kitchen and a bathroom. The bedroom has a double bed (not exactly king-size, but large enough for two grown-ups in size M pajamas). The springs in the mattress are NOT independent but hold the weight (and the movements) reasonably well nonetheless. The bedroom window is equipped with shutters (outside) which could come very handy at night because of street lighting as well as in daytime on hot summer afternoons. The living room has a sofa and a wall-monted TV set (which actually works!) There is also a balcony. The kitchen has an electric oven, a gas stove and a refrigerator. Kitchenware (pots, a pan, crockery, silverware, a set of kitchen knives, a cutting board, etc.) is quite adequate. (We loved the coffee cups). There is also a geyser-type (mocha) coffee maker.
The apartment feels (and actually IS) very safe. You will be separated from the street by three doors and prison-grade bars on the living room window. The street itself is reasonably quiet. The only traffic worth of mentioning (in terms of noise) is between 7 and 9 a.m. The good news, though, is that because via Michelino is one way street and rather narrow at that speeding is virtually impossible. And the fenestration holds the noise well enough.
There is a supermarket (COOP) on via San Donato (~7 min walk), a greengrocer’s (3 min) and a bar (1 min).
Davide is a great host. Very detail-oriented and caring. We had a problem with Internet connection, and he solved it within a few hours.
We would most certainly stay in this apartment should we happen to be in Bologna again and would recommend it to friends, too.
