Alfredo's apartment is a great basic option for those wanting to stay in Bologna without splurging. It was perfect for two people, although a third person could easily have fit on the couch, which was quite comfortable. It is a ten minute walk from Piazza maggiore as well as the university area which is where all of the nightlife is, but is still very quiet at night. The hosts were very gracious to allow us a late check in (which was at 1 am!) and also provide us with a clothes iron on request. The only issue (which in my opinion is a first world issue) was that the shower is only an overhead one (like I said! First world problems). Overall our stay was great!
