The location is superb, the apartment is lovely and the sunny terrace has a wonderful view. Close to everything. However, the hosts has a terrible lack of service and attention, and the furniture is both worn and old. Especially was challenging and proved a complete lack of empathy. We were told that arrival after 8pm cost 20 Euro and after 10 pm cost 40 Euro. The flight was slightly delayed and our baggage did not arrive so we were delayed, as flights to Italy often are. Slightly after 8pm we were told the checkin was the next day if we didn’t show within a few minutes. That was a shock. Luckily a friend could pick up the key, but even she ran like hell to arrive as soon she could, But we were told it was too late. She made it luckily. Why not have a key box outside the door when check in is so time sensitive? We had given notice we would arrive in Bologna at 19.15 PM and take the train from there. As locals, one would expect the host to tell us there was no way we would make it in time. With two toddlers, we were scared we could not make it, and were forced to sleep outside, but Cristina only scuffed rudely at us. A really bad experience.
Also, this flat has a lift, but you need to walk an extra two staircases up to the apartment. Would have been useful for us to know as we had two strollers.
