We loved this place! Perfect location to explore Bologna on foot as the Old District and a lot of the attractions are only a few minutes walk away.
Monella was terrific - very responsive to information requests and gave us great tips on local restaurants, where to park our hire car etc.
The apartment is very clean and it really is unique with the frescos and spiral staircase. There is plenty of storage space for clothes and a small kitchenette and shower-room. Monella has left some useful toiletries, a hairdryer, ironing board etc so you can fend for yourself! Certainly being able to put our clothes in a washing machine was very handy.
Not a problem for us but there is no T.V but there is a music center so we listened to music on the odd occasions we were just 'at home' relaxing. Also be aware that the apartment is in the middle of the City so you will get City sounds early in the morning as people leave for work, start up their cars, the trash is collected etc. There was a loud party across the way on our second to last night which was annoying but hey not something within Monella's control and could well have been a one off.
The spiral staircase up to the sleeping area is so pretty - but be aware that its quite narrow and steep if you have any sort of mobility problem. We are fairly fit (and not too wide) so didn't have any issue at all - although we elected not to take our suitcases upstairs!
Overall this is a terrifically located, unique space which is clean and offered at a really good price. We would definitely book with Monella again if we ever return to Bologna.
