The apartment is stylish and in a great location. The kitchen is small for a large apartment but that was OK. The sofa bed in the 3rd bedroom is very small and uncomfortable, it is a bit of a stretch for 2 adults. The apartment has high ceilings and great period architectural features. It is sparsely decorated which was again OK. The photos are very accurate and shows the apartment as it is. The living room sofas are very stylish as are the dining set up, but again not very comfortable. The metal legged chairs are slippery on the shiny floor and both my kids and my elderly mother slipped on these and fell.
The location cannot be beaten. Very close to the very centre of town. It is on a busy road and was noisy on Saturday night but not on other nights. The lift is working so it was good with our elderly parents. There are no views as you look at the close by neighbouring buildings.
The apartment is managed by a company and they were in general very efficient in arranging everything for us. Check in was pleasant and friendly. We were told to sort our rubbish which we did through our stay, though we did not know where the communal bins were.
We asked to check out late and again this was pleasantly agreed as the apartment was not booked for that day. We could not get the wifi working and the person who checked us in immediately returned and sorted it our for us.
We rent apartments and holiday homes all over the country and the world so we are used to staying in other people's homes and looking after them. We sorted our rubbish, washed all dishes, even vacuumed the floor, but of course not cleaned all day on our last day.
The check out person came to the flat to take over the keys, he was very rude and took photos all over the apartment and made detailed notes, not booked us a taxi until he finished and we signed (at this stage we were getting late for the airport)
The check in person told us we could leave the rubbish if we sorted it but this guy made us throw it or we would pay 50 euros, he also made us sign that we left the place dirty.
So overall a very good stay due to the spaciousness of the apartment, the excellent location, stylish decor and characterful period building. The management company also were excellent until the last hurdle. If they sort out their check out process, then we would recommend this apartment fully to anyone wishing to stay at the heart of beautiful Bologna. Overall we were very happy with our stay.
