A lovely space with one major issue. This condo has a lovely location in the historic market of Bologna. Great restaurants. Great walking. Great shopping.
Andrea has done a great job of remodeling it. It is clean and modern. I visited Bologna on a working trip with my daughter for her doctoral research. Our plan was early to bed/early to rise.
This home is immediately above restaurants, clubs, a busy piazza, and a recycling area. As a result we had music and crowd noise until 1am and then heard barrels of glass being dumped until 2am.. sleep was impossible. Even with ear plugs. After two nights of a planned six, we checked out.
If you want to go to bed before 2am and are a normal sleeper, please consider this. Perhaps the other reviewers had a different experience. Some enjoyed the lovely, lively street life below. I personally felt the other reviews understated the noise, or mentioned it in passing.
The home has an unusual layout. Three bedrooms on one end. Two bathrooms on the other. None en suite. The kitchen is large and well equipped. This would be a great home for foodies who want to sample Bologna’s bounty and cook at home. There is no common sitting area in the property. The only place to gather as a group or family is the kitchen.
Andrea is a super host and has done great job with the property. We just found the noise intolerable for us.
