Bologna is a city of art, culture and trade. The capital of Emilia-Romagna is also known as “Dotta” (erudite), being the oldest university of the West, as “Grassa” (fat) for its gastronomic delights and “Rossa” (red) for the colors characterizing its old town. Its soul is in the medieval old town, one of the biggest in Europe, dotted in taverns, workshops and theaters, characterized by almost 40 kms of porticoes. In the city center there is Piazza Maggiore, where the charm of medieval buildings is perfectly combined with modernity. Not to be missed are the Fountain of Neptune by Giambologna and the Medieval Towers, “Torre degli Asinelli” and “Torre della Garisenda”, part of a rich cultural heritage preserved in several museums, art galleries and religious buildings. It is allowed to leave Bologna only after having tried its gastronomic products, among which mortadella, tortellini, ragù alla bolognese while sipping famous DOC wines from the Bologna hills! Rich in exhibitions, fairs and cultural events, Bologna can surprise you in every season.
10 minutes walking distance from the apartment there is the central train station while the airport is 15-minute drive away.

Many things were broken, and the deadbolt somehow locked me out of the room behind me when closing the door. The staff were helpful with issues, and it was affordable and in a great location.Don’t expect luxury.

no AC
We enjoyed our stay overall, but it is important to note the apartment has no AC. It is omitted in the description, and when I asked if the apartment had AC prior to our stay, I got no response. We managed ok with the time honored window and blind management, until it got over 90 degrees most of the day. Then, it was just very hot in the apartment.Great, small shower, comfortable beds, somewhat confusing garbage management if you dont speak Italian or know how these systems work in Italy.Overall, this would be a wonderful place in the winter.

Terrible service -No Show!!!er. Rude and disrespectful people. Never did fix the shower for a week!
The shower was completely broken. They didn’t show up for two days and then didn’t fix a thing. Always with the excuses! Do not trust these people.

A below average rental
Dishwasher didnt work. Overall, pretty dirty. Most any surface you could run a finger across it and get a wad of dust. If you looked closely, every corner had a dirt brown film. Dishes not clean. Hot water was scalding hot, but you did need it to sanitize the dishes. Really remind me of a dormitory apartment.

Bologna trip
Property was lovely and comfortable. Was just tricky trying to check in early as we couldn’t get hold of person once we did they kindly said we could leave our bags at the office but by then it was too late as we were trying to get to Bologna football match so had to pay to leave them at the station. If we could’ve arranged this previously it would’ve been much less stressful but unfortunately no communication until on the day. Apartment was great though, perfect location.
