Alessandro's apartment was the perfect place to stay during our time in Bologna. We usually use AirBNB for longer stays and stick with hotels for short 2-3 night stays like this one, but when our hotel reservation fell through at the last minute, I found this apartment and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! Alessandro accepted our booking even though it was within 24 hours of when we were hoping to check in, and met us the next day right after we got off the train. He was super pleasant throughout and even helped put us in touch with an English-language taxi service. The apartment is absolutely beautiful: everything was very clean, the furniture was great, the bed was comfortable. The building is a fantastic older building with a beautiful central courtyard, so it was also very quiet despite being a 5 minute walk from Piazza Maggiore. Location really couldn't be better. The next time I'm in Bologna, I'll book here without a moment of hesitation!
