I am a long time researcher in Bologna. This apartment could not be better located. It is near the University, all sights in the historic center, and the station. I walked everywhere with ease. The apartment is in a wonderful building that I found quiet and hospitable on a lively residential street that I found safe for a woman alone even late into the night. The apartment is great--perfect for one or 2 people--with a spacious living/dining area and kitchen, a nice sized bedroom and average sized bathroom. I need quiet for my research and sleeping. Aside from church bells, at 8:30 a.m., it is very quiet and I slept well. The bed is incredibly comfortable. There was some student partying on Saturday night, but remarkably little given the close proximity to the university. The apartment has a dishwasher and washing machine (no dryer as is usual in Italy). I used both and they were easy to manage. There is a de longhi mini coffee machine that I used with some difficulty. It requires specific capsules--there were two provided by hosts. I bought the wrong kind so check for the right brand. There is an electric stove top. I also had some trouble figuring out how to turn it on. Luisa responded quickly to my questions via text, and Cornelia, their assistant, was especially helpful and gracious. I think it would be great if the hosts added information about these things to the written material in the home. I would also recommend some hooks in the bathroom and a shelf for toiletries. Finally, I would suggest putting a light outside the door of the apartment because it is hard to go down the small set of stairs in the dark to hit the button for the hall light. But these are minor issues. I absolutely hope to stay here again and will recommend to my students, colleagues and friends. Eat at nearby Tinello restaurant in Via dei Giudei. Fantastic Bolognese cooking. And Gelateria delle Moline is terrific and nearby.
