50 stars for Mauro!! 5 stars just aren't enough. I came for the annual Bologna Children's Book Fair at Bologna Fiere, and this apartment was PERFECT. The walk from door to door was less than 10 minutes, which made it very easy for me to pop home for lunch between meetings (I have food allergies so did much of my own cooking in the apartment's well-equipped kitchen). The apartment was impeccably clean and had all the comforts of home. Comfy bed and pillows, blackout shades that could be drawn to make the space very dark and cure the jetlag hangover, great water pressure in the shower, wireless internet.... The apartment is on a pedestrian street so it's very quiet; there's a small amount muffled noise from neighbors but nothing problematic. I was able to walk into the town center the first day and then learned to take Bus 25 in, which was very easy and convenient. Mauro himself is terrific, too—he was even able to drop me off at the airport when I left. Really above and beyond! 50 stars, and I hope to stay here again next year. :)
