This is a spacious, beautiful, bright apartment in the central part of Bologna. It is a few minutes walk from the train station and the Piazza Maggiore, although those minutes are pretty long during the scorching heat of a Bologna summer. The flat is in an 1896 residential building with a spacious ornate entry court. The 1-st floor unit is large and bright, with two enormous windows that open onto a quiet courtyard. The air-con works well. There is a full kitchen, completely equipped, and a dishwasher (no disposal). There is a clothes washer, but no dryer. (A laundromat is nearby on Azzo Gardino). We found the unit in very clean and neat condition. Francesca was very welcoming and hospitable. One thing to note is that the sleeping loft is connected by a very steep spiral staircase. It is sturdy and efficient, but would be a challenge to anyone with mobility issues, or persons who have to get up to access the bathroom in the night. We would stay here again.
