I stayed for a month while working in the emergency department at Sant'Orsola-Malpighi Hospital. I could not have had a better stay. Irene is the most gracious and helpful host. The apartment is immaculate. Very clean, great interior style, and has everything you could need, including shampoo, laundry detergent and even a first aid kit. The outdoor patio is great for coffee/breakfast. Nice big shower, a second toilet. Comfortable beds and great linens. Beautiful lighting. Also, the building is an historic one and superbly located. So many restaurants right out the front door, and Irene can suggest all the best ones. The apartment is even more beautiful than the pictures suggest. I truly think this is one of the best apartments for rent in Bologna. A 10-minute walk through lovely porticos to the city center and within the old walls on a wonderful residential street with its own great restaurants and even a microbrewery. Quiet and lovely and good for families though. You must stay here!
