Irene was a great host. The apartment was spacious, but also a little dark being at the ground floor with few windows. We were in Bologna for one month, and the apartment had everything we needed; nice bedroom, fine kitchen, super bathrooms, dinner and television room, a small table for working on your pc. From the kitchen, you can enter a very little garden with just space enough for having a coffee. French doors into the same little garden from the bedroom gives you nice access to fresh air. The building complex has access to an inner beautiful old peaceful garden for a quiet pause. The garden was likely from the period when the building served as a monastery for noon’s. There are no place to sit in the garden. It is not meant long stays. To us the apartment was perfectly placed very close to the university, in the center, but also just outside the noisy and crowded areas. The street itself is quiet but contains several of nice restaurants. An upgrade of the kitchen knives would be a good improving. But this is a very small thing in the whole picture of a good apartment in the center of the charming Bologna.
