We arrived late at night but this wasn't a problem for Francesca who was waiting for us to allow us entry to the apartment and to explain all details.

His English is fluent and his knowledge of the city complete - the apartment is spotless, the location is great, being a 5 to 7 minute walk from the main square. there is coffee and tea and some other basics available in the modern kitchen. The apartment is modern and comfortable with two good sized bathrooms.

Our one small issue was that one of the bedrooms could be subject to outside noise but it should be noted that this is more the nature of the building as it's old and this could well be an issue wherever you stay in Bologna.

Overall this is a lovely apartment, Francesca is a perfect host and I would not hesitate to recommend that you seriously consider staying here if you require a city centre location.

Thanks for all of your help Francesca.
