You go to the exact centre of Bologna, walk down a mostly pedestrian street, approach a large, old, wooden door, insert a key to open it, pass an elevator you've seen in European pictures from the thirties (which still works perfectly), walk up one, tall storey's worth of steps, open a door with the accumulated hardware of the past hundreds of years, and enter a foyer with a very high, old, beamed ceiling and large chandelier that is only the beginning of an up to date, fully renovated apartment with wonderfully retained historic details. Beyond is everything you'll need for your stay, fully supplied and clean, in a unique layout that takes advantage of every nook and cranny and that'll wow you only in good ways at every turn. We loved it. We have no hesitation recommending it and the host (in the form of Camille) and her recommendations for eateries.
