We had a lovely stay in Bologna at Tom’s flat. The apartment was very clean, spacious and decorated very tastefully. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was fresh. The kitchen are has enough equipment for cooking and there are lots of basics, like oil, salt and coffee and tea which is so helpful. We walked everywhere from the apartment and walked from the train station with our two small children in about 15 minutes. A bonus for our kids was the Netflix on offer! The air conditioners in the bedrooms worked well and the bathroom is lovely. It is only a small shower but plenty of water pressure. The washing machine is in the shared entrance foyer with another unit, but we did not see anyone else. That was not an issue as the apartment is secure and private. There is a popular pizza place downstairs and the local supermarket is just 5 minutes walk. The street and view from the balcony are nothing spectacular, but the apartment is so lovely and convenient it does not matter. Tom is a great host and very helpful and responsive.
