What a lovely apartment! We met Irene's mother upon arrival, and she showed us how everything worked and made us feel right at home. We met Irene later in the trip, and she could not have been more friendly and inviting. She has thought of everything: she has a laminated list of restaurants ready to go, numbers for a cab service, and a whole tray of information on how to enjoy the city. She is just a delight! Molto gentile!

The unit is big, clean, well laid out, and warmly modern. The living
room and dining area were spacious and great for relaxing. The twin beds were comfortable. It was great to have a washing machine during a longer stay, and cleaning products were accessible for us to tidy up. The small kitchen was well equipped. We were here during winter, so we did not use the small side garden or larger back garden at all, but both were lovely. Of note, we were looking for a ground floor apartment that might accommodate an older relative for a future trip, and this one was excellent: just two steps up into the unit, and only a couple of small steps within the actual apartment between the office and the bedroom.

The neighborhood was familiar to us already. There are fruit vendors, two bakeries, multiple meat markets, and several groceries all within two blocks. It's about a 12-minute walk to the center of the city. There are excellent restaurants on Broccaindosso, as well as a craft brewery just steps from the entrance. And of course, there's the city of Bologna just steps from your door. Highly recommended.
