I loved staying at this location. Franco was so friendly and accommodating and checked in to make sure everything was fine. The location is great, close to buses and the main piazza as well as wonderful cafes and restaurants. The apartment had everything I needed for an extended stay and the furniture was comfortable. The bed was great for sleeping. But most of all I loved how quiet the location was and the ability to darken the bedroom for sleeping. The apartment is off an enclosed courtyard with benches and has a parklike setting. All the residents were friendly as you come and go. But once you step outside the main door you are back into the life of the city. Right next door is a supermarket which is quite convenient. I have stayed in several places in Bologna but Franco's has become my favorite for its location, peacefulness and having Franco as a host. I hope to return again.
