The apartment was quaint and clean, and had a really great location for exploring Bologna - central to everything! It is perhaps not the best option for an extended stay, or for those who wish to cook for themselves as the kitchen is extremely limited in space and functionality. We had very little communication with the host, but she left many details and suggestions for places to eat, shop, etc. There was a lot of noise transferring from other apartments in the building, as well as from the streets below and around. If you are a light sleeper, or if you are sensitive to noise, this place may not be ideal.
