This is a big, bright, pleasant and very clean apartment with high ceilings, within a ten-minute walk to the center, and on a street lined with cafes and restaurants. Lots of students in the area which keeps things interesting and allows you to enjoy the "real" Bologna, centered on the life of its ancient university. Most of the furnishings are brand new but it still feels like an authentic Italian apartment to me, not a touristy "staged" place. The AC worked great even though it was 90 out, and the internet is speedy and worked well for zoom meetings. Although the street life is active, there is little noise in the apartment and the bedroom is very quiet and peaceful. Lots of storage space if you are staying awhile, comfortable bed, and a good shower. And it's in a beautiful and historical "palazzo," with grand staircases and an interior courtyard. (Barbara has left a folder of information about the building; let's just say Columbus was still "discovering" America when this place was built.) Maybe the best aspect of this very nice airbnb though is Barbara herself, a lovely hostess who iss very responsive and helpful and concerned. On my last day, I was a bit worried about how to get my heavy bag to my permanent rental (I'm staying for a month to work and study). I was planning to walk the one kilometer but was dreading it because of the heat. Without being asked, Barbara suggested that her boyfriend help me and he (an equally charming young man) drove me and my absurdly heavy luggage to the new place. I am so grateful to Barbara and her boyfriend for their hospitality and friendliness.
