Beautiful Property! It was very comfortable with air conditioning which was a plus since it was so hot in Bologna this year. Host gave excellent directions to find the property. It is on a very busy corner with lots of great food and drinks

Phenomenal Location

We loved our stay. The apartment was in the best spot, right in the middle of everything. Only issue is because it is in such a great spot, it might be a bit noisy when you try to sleep, so bring a sound machine or download a white noise app on your phone.

Great stay in Bologna

The apartment is in a central location for everything you need in Bologna. Tons of restaurants and cafes right outside the door. Plenty of room for our family of 4 when we needed some downtime in the apartment.

Bologna city center

Fantastic location in the heart of Bologna's historic city center within easy walking distance of sights, restaurants, and shopping. Plenty of room for the three of us to use as a home base while exploring this area of Italy. Since it is surrounded by restaurants, it can be a bit noisy at night, but we didn't find it to be an issue. Would stay here again!

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.

Place is clean and well maintained. Excellent location and literally in the middle of all the action. Right when you step outside it’s as lively as can be. Next time we’re in Bologna, we hope to stay there again. Thanks, Julia!

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.

What a clean, lovely apartment located in the busiest area if Bologna. Great sites near bye.

By staying here you are in the heart of Bologna!s ‘Food Mecca.’ The apartment was spacious and very clean. The weekend lively neighborhood can be a little noisy but that did not keep us awake. Parking involves about a 25 minutes walk from the August 8 parking garage...20e per day. Come hungry, the food is amazing! If you gave a sleeping mask it would be a good idea to bring it as the rooms are not as dark as most would like.

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.
