This apartment ticks all the boxes for amenities and easy walking distance to main historical sites. It is located in the university district where it was generally quite lively at night time, and a couple of nights of our stay the loud partying continued well past midnight. Obviously Gabriele has no control over these outside goings on, it's just something to be aware of. A positive of the location is that good, inexpensive coffee and croissants are readily available just a few steps from the front door of the building.
Gabriele is a wonderful host and he has presented the apartment with care for the comfort of his guests. His communication is excellent and he was flexible with our arrival time, meeting us onsite with a big smile and a warm handshake. A definite bonus for this apartment is the lift, which was much appreciated by my sore knee! Gabriele took time to show us around the apartment and he even had a comprehensive list of his personal recommendations for places to eat and nearby supermarkets. A little personal touch of a bottle of wine and local snacks was much appreciated too.
Gabriele also allowed us to leave our luggage in the apartment after checkout, which was very kind, leaving us unburdened for a final few hours of exploration before leaving beautiful Bologna. We definitely recommend Gabriele's apartment. Thanks for hosting us.
