I've been staying in Bologna for 30 years, from a few weeks to a few months at a time. Matteo's place was in one of the best possible locations: very convenient to the station, main square, lots of restaurants. It's on Bologna's main street, on the mezzanine, with windows opening under one of Bologna's characteristic porticoes, potentially a noisy location. I was there on the weekend, when cars and buses are forbidden, so there was only the steady, uniform background sound of 100s of passersby--for me not a problem at all. Once they all went home at bedtime, it was as quiet as somewhere in the suburbs. On weekdays I'd anticipate the same added noise one would encounter at any address on a Bolognese primary transportation route. Kitchen very well furnished: everything necessary for meal preparation except the actual fixings from the market. Immediate (very) hot water and lots of it. WiFi and TV both worked fine. Matteo was very professional, helpful and conscientious at every stage. I'm delighted to have found the place and would happily return.
