I lived in Bologna for a year so I chose this place because it was right in the center of the city and would permit me access to everything I wanted to do. It did not disappoint! Riccardo was always responsive, and check-in was seamless. The apartment was spotless and very modern - great for those who prefer to avoid some of the quirks of older European apartments. The stairs to the upstairs bed are quite steep -- but they are fairly pictured and described in the listing. If you are someone who gets up in the middle of the night, like I do, you might consider using the sofa bed on the main level to avoid going down the stairs at night -- although we slept upstairs and I managed fine. I would highly recommend!
