The apartment is compact, as the photos show. Bed is very comfortable, and sleeping is easy in such a quiet building. It is a fully furnished, safe place to stay.
Plenty of storage for the two of us, for just over 2 weeks. Kitchen has a good selection of everything needed to do some cooking. A PAM Local grocery is very near, as well as some good fresh fruit grocers.
The bathroom has a typical small shower, with lots of hot water. We loved having a washer, and on the balcony we could use the lines for drying to hang over the edge, as well as use the rack provided. We used the rack for our towels each night as well. For us it was the first time staying in a building with an interior balcony, which we liked.
The kitchen was stocked with some usable items, thoughtfully provided by our host. We did buy a large Bialetti mocha pot the first night, and brought it home with us. We need coffee! The Bialetti store is not too far away.
Access to the apartment is through a locked front door on the street. Bologna is famous for their porticos, so of course the door is under a portico. Once in, walk down a well lighted hallway and up a floor to another secure door. The balcony also has a secure door, though is seems very safe.

Bus access is particularly good, and tickets are available at any tabacheria. Buy a pack of 10 if staying a while.
Going to the train/bus station is a simple single bus ride, on the 36 or 38 line. Catch the bus right in front of the apartment, across the street. Couldn't be easier.
Coming back use the same buses right near the train station. On the way back they take a different route, since the street the apartment is on is a one- way in front of the apartment. You will get off 1.5 blocks away. Get more info at TPER website (bus company)
Train rides to some nearby cities (Parma, Verona, Ferrara) are quick and inexpensive.
The balcony is a major plus, with a nice table and 2 chairs. Not a lot of full direct sun in the Fall, but still, on a nice 22 or 23 deg. day, very comfortable. Some nice greenery on one side, and 4 lines to hang laundry on, over the edge.
Our host and his wife Lara were very welcoming and helpful, even making a taxi reservation for our early morning departure to the airport, and helping with bus info. It is a good city to walk in as well. They were easy to reach (WhatsApp) and responsive.
We loved Bologna- food is amazing, restaurants and bakeries are everywhere, and nearby the apartment are several truly excellent places, as well as being very affordable. We quickly found our favorite lunch place, coffee place and bakery. As elsewhere in Italy, there is no bad food. If you like history, churches and vitality, this city has it all. The weekend around the area of Piazza causes the streets to be closed to vehicular traffic, and people really come out to stroll.
Consider the Bologna card if you stay more than 2 or 3 days. The Info point is at Piazza Maggiore, and the cards are available there. Three different 'tourist' buses leave from there. Take the guided walking tour offered there also.
