The location is perfect. Right next to the Piazza, across the street from tiny streets full of Bologna's best food shops. Classic restaurants within a couple of blocks. It is noisy with the windows open, but we just closed the windows. The bedroom is in back, much quieter. The flat has a kitchen which is perfect for breakfast and heating up dinners you can buy across the street. The building is secure, and we felt safe. You can see three medieval towers from the flat (two from the shower). Check in was simple, with GREAT tips on local restaurants. On the weekend, they close the main street for musicians, and people just strolling - a real treat in Bologna.
