This is a studio apartment in a perfect location in the old part of Bologna. It is on the first floor of a very old building but it has been thoroughly modernised internally. It is about 220m away from the Piazza Maggiore and very close to many restaurants and bars, as well as many of the high-end designer stores for shopping. It is located in an area where there is limited access by vehicles, so it may be difficult to find parking if you have a car. I hired a bicycle when staying here and it was the perfect way to see the city and surrounds. It is close to local bus routes that run along the main roads (Via Farini to the south, about 110m away, and Via Rizzoli to the north, about 220m away). Bologna Centrale (the main train station) is a very walkable 1.9km away. Whilst the apartment is in the heart of the city, it is still quite private. I would estimate the total size to be approx 38 sqm with the bedroom, kitchen and lounge in the main area, and a separate bathroom. Like many of the apartments in the city there is no balcony. It is situated very close to fresh food stores that supply fresh meats, salamis, fish and fresh fruit, however, there are no large supermarkets nearby. The nearest large supermarket is Essalunga on Via Emilia Ponente, about 3.5 km away. A PAM local (quite a comprehensive convenience store) is about 240m around the corner on Via IV Novembre for toiletries, prepared foods and alcochol. There is a full sized 4 burner gas stove and oven so it is possible to cook a decent meal. However, it didn't have a microwave oven. The utensils provided are basic but adequate for simple meals. The fridge has a freezer and is about 130L capacity. Bathroom with shower and bath tub and washing machine (works well) were in very good condition and provided good hot water. The bathroom has lower ceilings. The apartment is simply decorated and everything was in very good condition. Overall it is a perfect size and in a great location for 2-3 people (any more might be a squeeze) wishing to stay in the historical part of town with access to all of its attractions. Highly recommended.
