We can thoroughly recommend this property. We stayed in August 2017 as part of a family Interrailing trip round Europe. The property is extremely spacious, well equipped (full kitchen, laundry facilities etc) and perfect for us as a family group of four. The apartment is right outside the northern exit of Bologna Centrale railway station and therefore especially convenient if, like us, you need easy access to the station for travel. Bologna, as well as being a fine city to visit in its own right, is a great base for visiting other parts of Italy such as Verona, Venice, Modena, Florence all of which can be done as day trips by train.
The apartment is in a quiet residential area in the north of the city and is fully equipped for self-catering - the local shops around the Bolognina district are good for supplies and there's a bigger supermarket a few blocks away nearer the city centre. There's even a small park a few hundred metres from the apartment called Parco Angeletti, a quiet spot and perfect for a morning run.
Franca and Mario were great hosts, very friendly throughout and we had great communication before and after our rental. The apartment was excellent value for money and I would recommend it without hesitation.
Thanks again to Franca and Mario for our stay.
