A disappointing experience. The photos give the impression of a light, welcoming apartment but we found it dismal, uncomfortable and noisy. A train strike meant that we arrived 4 hours later than planned, and the person assigned to greet us did so in a friendly way but was clearly in a hurry to get away, despite it being well within the check-in time limit.
Even with the windows closed, the noise of drinkers late into the night in the many bars in the street below is still too loud for a good sleep.
The furniture is badly worn, scruffy and hard – even the pillows were more cover than stuffing.
Worst of all is the bathroom, where the shower is in a bad state of repair (the shower head is kept in place by old string wrapped around the pole), and the lavatory can only be flushed by putting your hand through the hole in the top to pull a lever in the cistern and then manipulating a valve to refill it. I reported this on our first full day but I did not receive a helpful response and nothing was done about it – not even an apology. I notice that this was also mentioned in a review from August this year.
There is also a complete lack of the helpful bits and pieces that we have had in every other Airbnb property.
We will be pleased to return to Bologna but will look for other accommodation.
