Caroline’s place is just above a bus stop that will take you anywhere in the city. I was a solo traveler and walked from the city center back to the place multiple times during the day. The apartment is very basic, but the bathroom is nice. The A/C only worked in the bedroom but could have been user error on my end in the living room. There also is no washer. Carolina does provide a lot of information prior to check in, so be sure to dedicate time to review it all.
The biggest negative was the doors and overall safety. Being a solo female traveler, I didn’t feel safe entering or leaving the apartment at night. The main apartment building door doesn’t always lock behind you. This caused a great deal of anxiety during my check-in, as I was trying to get into the first door that led to the apartment. I heard someone come into the apartment building and was hiding in the stairwell. I had to call Caroline for assistance, but due to her baby sleeping, she would not physically open the door despite being in the apartment building. She told me to apply a lot of pressure pushing the door at a certain place while turning the key, and it should open. A minute later, I finally got the door open. You still have the apartment door you have to get open after all of that. While this feels safe in theory, it is not practical. The safety issue also happened last evening as I was checking out. I came down the stairs and saw that the main apartment building door had not closed. When I turned on the lights, a man ran from the side of the elevator and mailboxes out of the building. Since it is right in front of one of the busiest bus stops in Bologna, you don’t know who could get into the building.
