Very clean, well provided with all necessities, good nearby shops, convenient for central Bologna, and host was very responsive and professional. Unfortunately, no direct sunlight anywhere in flat, which is entirely surrounded by neighbouring structures, so more recommended for people not planning to spend time there. "Loft" is meant in the US sense of an inbuilt upper-level, and not in the UK sense of a rooftop conversion, which would ordinarily allow more sunlight. Also a problem of ventilation, as the only window allowing genuine airing is facing the street, which gets noisy at night. Of course, such problems are not unusual for older, centrally located buildings of this type. Overall fit for purpose.
