The Airbnb is located in the „inner circle“ of Bologna. It takes a nice walk of 5-10 minutes to the heart of the city center. The apartment itself is small but there is everything you need including a kitchen with equipment for cooking :).
With regard to communication and check-in, our stay started a little bit frustrating. We mostly communicated with Sonia and not with Paolo and (besides a very helpful comment on parking our car) this communication did not work to well. Although we asked how the check-in will work before our arrival, we did not get an answer. We, in turn, walked to the apartment and did not know what to do or where to go. As we arrived there, Sonia opened a door via internet - we still did not know where to go in the building complex and shouted as we still thought someone would be there in presence. Somehow, she then step by step managed to navigate us through text messages to the right apartment and gave us a code to open the door. This was not what we have imagined as a warm welcome - and not was we are used to when staying with Airbnb. Also not that cool: once in, you have two keys to open the doors in the building that lead to your apartment. The key for the main door in the street is not working too well - the door took us everytime we wanted to get in several minutes to open. Luckily, the door is often already open (as I guess others have the same trouble), but if it is not, prepare yourself that you will not get in easily.
Taken together, it is a little unnerving and uncomfortable to get in the apartment (at the first check-in but also during the whole stay) - but once you are in, it is actually very nice :).
