This loft apartment was such a great home base for exploring Bologna, away from the busiest part of the city centre but just a couple of minutes walk to everything, including great restaurants (All'Osteria Bottega is just around the corner – book ahead!), markets (near the main square – perfect at aperitivo/passeggiata time) and sights (if you can handle hundreds of steps, climb up the Asinelli tower at sunset for an amazing view over the entire city). Cosma was a wonderful host, greeting us on arrival – we were even able to check in earlier in the day when we arrived on a morning train, which was so helpful. The apartment is a studio, just the right size for a couple, super clean, with all the amenities you'd expect, including beautiful original structural details and a newly renovated bathroom. We loved waking up under the skylight each morning!
