For 6 weeks I made St. Stefano's apartment my home. If you want to be in the center of Bologna, then this is the place to be. Close to everything that you want to see and do so you can walk everywhere or take a short cab ride if needed. As good as the location is, Antonio, the host, is even better. His communication was great throughout the planning of my trip as well as my stay. Every week he would have the apartment cleaned and then restocked with an assortment of snacks and water, refilled the coffee pods and even added more laundry detergent if needed. I spoke to a number of other visitors who were surprised at the level of attention Antonio provided especially when their lodging was similarly priced. The unit is accurately portrayed in the pictures and the bathroom/shower is quite large by Italian standards. The kitchen is nicely stocked and there is a washing machine as well as a very functional clothes drying rack and iron/board. The bed is comfortably firm. It's a great place for a solo traveler or a couple. I plan to return to Bologna in the future and it's nice to know where I'll be staying!
