Alex was the epitome of hospitality- warm , kind and extremely informative. The apartment is bursting with charm from the interesting art to the Italian touches in the kitchen. There was plenty of everything you would need in the kitchen plus a state of the art espresso machine. The living room couch was very welcoming at the end of a day of sight-seeing as well as the small seating area on the balcony. The location is residential but very convenient to many buses to the historic center. We would highly recommend this apartment as a lovely place to stay while visiting Bologna. Alex was very helpful to us during our stay.
