The apartment is located in the heart of it all, on the main street that led to the two towers (Asinelli & Garisenda) and everything is within close walking distance. If you love being in the middle of the hustle & bustle of people and vehicles, then this is perfect for you. However, if you are looking for a more relaxing and peaceful place to stay, then this might not be right for you. We loved being in the heart of it all, but nights proved to be a bit more challenging as we couldn’t leave the windows open for cool air due to the noise, but it was very quiet once the windows are closed, however there is no air conditioning, but each room has its own fan. The views from every window on the street side are very picturesque with rooftops views and other towers in sight.
The size of this apartment is perfect for big families (we had 8 total) and it was still very spacious. There are 2 bathrooms, one has a shower and the other just a bathtub; wish the water pressure was stronger for showers but we made do. I did really enjoy the radio built into the shower of one of the bathrooms - that was a different but nice touch. Unlike any other airBnB rentals I’ve stayed at in Italy for the four trips I’ve done, this apartment did not include garbage being taken care of for the guests. In addition, there were specifics on what/where to separate and or dispose of your trash outside or be charged a fee. I think as a vacation rental, the fee should just be included in the price so guests shouldn’t have to worry about separating and disposing trash on different days of the week while they are enjoying their vacation/holiday.
Overall, this apartment is very nice and centrally located. The hosts, Mattia and Sandra, are very responsive and helpful. Sandra made sure we were able to drop off our luggage earlier than our check-in time so we can enjoy the city without lugging everything around town. Sandra also was very helpful in arranging transportation for part of our group to the airport very early in the morning. We had a great time and would recommend this apartment to anyone going to Bologna.
