Charming Balogna Apartment

We have stayed at this property 2 years ago and was very impressed with the apartment and location. It’s city center and comveniently located around many shops, restaurants, and transportation. If you stay in Balogna and don’t rent a car this place is perfect. It was also clean and comfortable.

Right in the old town off the main square. Lively with dining and shopping. Would have liked a bit more information on operating the stove, buying the correct coffee, restaurant recommendations, etc. Otherwise loved this place!

Quaint and beautiful

This apartment is located in the heart of the central city on a lively street where just outside of the door you can find restaurants, fruit vendors, food specialty markets and anything else you can think of. You are also close to taxis, buses and if you like walking, the train station is about 10 minutes away. The apartment is charming and the beds are comfortable. Remember that Bologna is an old city so the living quarters are small, but that is the beauty of it. You cannot go wrong staying here.

Perfect Location in Center of Market

This was a great property, and Julia provides all the info needed to get in. Be sure to read the communications thoroughly! I had some issues because I did not, and any difficulties were my fault, not the host’s. The apartment is perfectly located in the center of the market area, so you just have to leave the building and you are in the center of it all. The Piazza Maggiore is steps away, as well as a wide selection of restaurants. Highly recommended if you want convenience to the historic district.

Great Location in the Heart of all the Action

My husband, son, and I stayed at this flat for two nights. Julia made the whole check-in and check-out process super easy and was very responsive when I had any questions. All of the action of Bologna, restaurants, cafes, shops, etc. are literally outside the front door. With that, it can get a little noisy at night, but nothing that a white-noise app on your phone cannot drown out. It was super convenient for everything and totally worth the little noise during the late evening hours. The flat was very comfortable and we loved that it has air conditioning (we discovered not all flats do in Europe). The bed was comfortable, too. If we ever revisit Bologna, we will stay here again.

In the middle of everything

What I loved about Bologna when I visited last year was the small alleys filled with lively pubs and restaurants. This led me to choose this unit which was literally on the doorsteps of some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. My only caution is that being on the doorsteps means that some of the noise filters upwards into the unit until a bit after midnight. It didn’t bother me, but if you’re wanting a bit more serene, this might not be for you. The character and beautiful chandeliers were real treats to enjoy in this very local, authentic rental.

Perfect Place

We so enjoyed our 5-night stay at the apartment on the via Pescherie Vecchie. Very quiet for being so incredibly central, just off the Piazza Maggiore in a lively and fun location. The apartment was clean and nicely furnished, and very reasonably priced. Julia was helpful and communicative throughout the process. Great find!

Very loud nights

Central location, close to great food in the city center. Parking is difficult. Listing states check in is at 2pm, but we weren’t let in until 5pm. The apartment would be comfortable for a single visitor or honeymooners. The streets outside the windows are extremely crowded. I’d recommend bringing earplugs as none are provided (also possible to maximize your level of intoxication, if you prefer). Navigating the street to get to to the apartment involves much crowd finessing and a strong willingness to push through people. Once inside there are several things to know: the blackout shades are essential. They are the outermost layer and come down with a string on the righthand side. The hand towels are rolled inside your bath towel. The plates are in the bottom cabinet. The neighbors are kind and helpful.
