The location is the best feature of the apartment, it’s right in the city centre – 1min by walk to the University of Bologna, 5min by walk to the Two Towers and less than 10min to Piazza Maggiore.
As for the apartment itself, it has only two divisions – one where is the bed, the couch, and the kitchenette; and other where is the bathroom. The bathroom was spacious, it had a hairdryer, a small drawer to store our hygiene products, but there wasn’t any toilet paper as we arrived.
As for the other division: the double bed was comfortable, but the bed clothes were a little rough to touch and didn’t protect from the cold. Although, there were heaters and air conditioning. The kitchenette didn’t have a proper stove, it had a portable stove and there wasn’t a kitchen hood, so the vapours of the cooked food stayed indoors. Even though we could open the windows, it wasn’t always practical. Also, there were very few kitchen utensils, and we had the need to buy some of them; and there wasn’t any kitchen rolls nor kitchen towels or sponges for cleaning.
While we were cooking the lightning was very poor. Because the apartment it’s on the ground floor and inside of a residence, there is few natural lights. In addition, the apartment is located right beside the entrance hall of the building, so there was a lot of noise from the people entering; from the entrance door, which was rusty and very noisy; and also from the other door, which led to the garage, and was always closed abruptly.
