The accommodation is a small street level bedsit flat. It comprises a small kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. It is convenient and centrally located in Bologna. All facilities were in good working order and the appartment was clean.
It has a single small window into the bedroom area which is covered with security bars and externally is under an archway and thus the appartment gets little natural light. "stylish" is not an accurate description but the appartment is entirely acceptable.
However, I suffered from an unfortunate incident. The appartment has two doors, the front door of the appartment leads to a 2m by 1m area which then has a second grilled door which then leads into the hallway of the building. Both doors lock on closing without needing a key. Soon after arrival, I made a mistake and left from the first door without my key. I found myself locked into the 2m by 1m area. Clearly this is a significant safety issue, as you are then trapped and this could be a major issue in case of fire or other incident. This was my error but the accommodation cannot be considered safe without the correction of this issue.
The owner of the appartment was out of town. His girlfriend let me into the appartment. When I was locked between the doors I fortunately had my phone and contacted her through airbnb messages (she didn not give me her phone numebr and did not call me, though I gave her mine). She did not come to assist me as it was heavily raining. She did not have spare keys the appartment. She said she would call me a locksmith but it would have to be at my expense and would be approx. 100 euros. I clearly had to agree as I was locked into a tiny space. The locksmith came about 1.5 hour later at around 21:00 in the evening and was extremely agressive and demanded 400 euros to let me out of the space. I had to agree as I had no other option. I stayed on the phone with airbnb support during the locksmiths visit as I was scared by his aggression. I communicated with the owner's girlfriend who said she would follow-up with the lock-smith company. However, I had no further communication from her or the owner. The rest of my stay was uneventful and I returned yesterday.
