Maria was a very helpful and welcoming host. The apartment itself is extremely small and only has certain amenities. The “kitchen” is literally confined to one corner of the studio, with a microwave, a mini fridge, and some other things. There is also no sink to wash dishes or clean plates. The bathroom is fine, though it has a notably weird smell that lingers. I did appreciate the balcony though. The building itself is also considerably old, as it has no elevator which can be a challenge for some people since the apartment is located about six to nine flights up. The location is convenient since it’s about 10 minutes away from Bologna Centrale. Overall, I was fairly satisfied with Maria’s place. I would recommend it to single travelers or couples who want to stay in Bologna for no more than a few days and also plan on eating out for the duration of their stay. I do NOT recommend eating in if you want to book this spot, as it is not exactly ideal.
