It’s really hard to fault this apartment. It’s in a great position just 15 minutes walk from Piazza Maggiore and all the main attractions, there is a tempting pasticceria, restaurant, pharmacy and supermarket right outside and yet the flat is blissfully quiet inside with a bonus balcony facing out onto a quiet courtyard. Inside it’s immaculate and contemporarily designed with a spacious living room/kitchen, separate double bedroom with loads of storage and a beautifully appointed bathroom. It’s a perfect place for a city break, but what lifts it even further are all the thoughtful extra touches - hand tied bags of luxurious bathroom accessories, water in the fridge, coffee, washing tablets and an even sweets in a heart-shaped bowl on the bed. It makes you feel like your host really wants you to have a memorable stay and Davide was also quickly on hand when we had a minor problem which needed sorting. This place is a real gem. It’s worth noting that you do have to climb some stairs with your luggage to get to the apartment but that is normal in the old historic buildings in Bologna and it’s only on the first floor. For anyone visiting in the next few weeks we’d recommend the Andy Warhol exhibition 10 minutes walk away.
