We had a great time in Bologna and this apartment is in a great location to the west of the centre but still easily walkable to the Towers (10mins). You don't have to go far for nightlife as this street comes alive in the evening with pubs and restaurants (we had fabulous meals in a couple) right on your doorstep. With the apartment located at the back through an inner courtyard there was no noise at all and we all slept great in the comfy beds. There is a local shop just a few yards away and a larger Co-Op just down the road. The apartment was comfortable but had a few quirks like the mezzanine in the double room that was unusable and the twin room was a bit sparse and lacked drawers. However the wifi was great and Marta was very quick to respond to anything. I would recommend this apartment and if coming back would definitely stay in this area again.
