Cleanliness: the apartment was very clean.
Communication: all our messages to Massimo were answered within a few minutes.
Check-in: straightforward. We had no issues at all.
Location: the apartment is located in the historic centre between the railway station and the Fountain of Neptune / Piazza Maggiore. There are hotel listings that say they are just over a 1km away from its location! So easy to visit Modena, Ravenna, Ferrara and even Florence. Multiple supermarkets nearby - at least two about 6 minutes or so away. And so many places to eat if you want to dine in Bologna.
Situated on the 5th floor - reached via lift - away from the main street means it is quiet; the "vibrant, busy noise" of Bologna is relegated to the background even on the patio.
Value: a subjective category but we felt it reflected both the positives and "negatives" of the apartment (listed below).
Accuracy: the listing, if anything, is understated. It is bigger than it looks in the pictures. The "plasma TV" is a modern, high definition LED connected to the internet - we could have logged into our streaming accounts or attached a Firestick or whatever if we had wanted to. The bathroom mirror has a modern LED light. If you want to eat in it is amazingly well stocked with glasses, plates and so forth - a result of it being a home. You need an oyster knife - there is one. Small forks designed for sardines - check. The sofa is very comfortable.
It exudes charm, quality, features and personal taste.
The downsides. There is no escaping the fact that the apartment has beams on which you can bang your head. This is a part of the trade off. In addition the storage is full of clothes - so its a case of living out of a suitcase; we managed but this may be an issue for some.
Other notes:
Regarding comments in August about the air conditioning. It worked fine when we were there - and it was 33 degrees the day we arrived. So if it was broken it was fixed.
Couldn't get the two LED square panels to work using the remote control. We assumed they were not yet connected but maybe the remote needed a battery. Should probably have asked Massimo. Would have made a difference since some of the other bulbs no longer work.
A comment about the bedroom roof window not having a cover still applies. You are not directly under the window but as someone who appreciates the issue this could be annoying to some. Note: the windows get afternoon sun not morning sun.
Summary:
If you are prepared to live with the beams this is a comfortable, quiet, quality apartment full of personal touches in an excellent location.
