The apartment was very comfortable, warm and a great place to come back to on a cold day. It’s a central location so barely needs the bus, there were plenty of food places nearby and our hosts made checking in easy. We appreciated the laundry in the building as well. A bonus was the Christmas Markets right across the road. Would definitely recommend!

The apartment was perfect! The location was on a Main Street and very easy to access. Having never stayed in Bologna before, we were unsure of what neighborhood to stay in. After visiting the city, we were so happy to have chosen this apartment. The location was perfect, the apartment was easily accessible, and we would stay here again when visiting.

Great area in town . You can walk to a grocery store in less than 10 min right on their street as well as the 2 towers. within 20 min at a leisurely stroll and onto a couple of other streets you will find the Piazza Majiorrie, Neptunes staute and other major tourist attractions. The reception staff were very helpful and helped me with finding a cabbie who came very early for for our pick up to the airport.
