When we arrived at the doors to this apartment , we were a bit apprehensive as there was a lot of graffiti on walls in the street & on the main door to the apartment. However, it is actually located in a quiet street during the day which really comes to life of an evening- perfect for dining or having a drink. Given this - within the apartment it is very quiet.Easy walking access to all Bologna's attractions & Giulio had some great information about local restaurants etc. Spacious for a studio, very clean, comfy bed - the little balcony only looks within the building ( doesn't look out onto street) & the access is a little quirky - huge front doors, then an iron locking gate, then doors to apartment. All in all we enjoyed our stay of 3 nights here.
