We didn't meet our host, but instead his friend, outside the apt. We were late, but he was there waiting. You can take a bus that's only a couple of blocks away from the apt from the train station - otherwise it's over a mile walk away. The apt is clean, but it is not quite as bright and sunny as pictured. It's also small (more like a room with a tiny kitchen and bathroom - though the shower was pretty large!), but it was adequate for one night. Also, there is a bed shown in the pictures in the loft, but it wasn't set up for us (maybe it's only set up when four ppl stay). Instead, there was the full bed and another single bed next to it on the ground floor, which was fine. However, we wanted a bit more space, so my friend slept on top - the ceiling is really close to the bed - maybe about two feet high, so you have to be careful when getting up to not hit your head. Just FYI for those who have 3 or more people.

The Pocket wifi was very handy. Also, I hadn't expected any air con, but there was a machine in the kitchen that worked well and kept the place cool, thought it is a little loud. We kept it running the whole time. Location is good and walking distance to main areas of Bologna. Place is secure, too, as there are three keys given to you for three different doors to lock.
