Can’t beat the location of this place. 5-stars.
My mistake for not reviewing the amenities properly though… this apartment does not have a washing machine.

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.

The location couldn't be better (Piazza Maggiore was at our feet), the building is interesting, so is the appartment. It is fully equipped, AC, spacious, no problem in the bathroom. Spacious beds, me and other 3 friends slept all right. Check in process very easy, self check in. Thank you Julia, recommend!

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.

Loved location. It was loud since it’s in city centre (which was mentioned in description) but would stay there again.

We had a great stay! The location was perfect right next to the center! The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. Julia’s brother met us outside the apartment and was very helpful. We would come back again!

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!

Beautiful apartment in the Heart of Bologna. The station was within walking distance to get to most places we wanted to visit. The restaurants were exceptional, accessible right from the front door.

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.

In the heart of Bologna, you won’t need to walk more than out the front door for food and wine, a block from shopping and taxis, busses, or anything else you need get. Clean and comfortable with a great shower, even if it is a little small. Lift didn’t work when we arrived but was fixed within hours.

The property could not be better located; however, it is extremely loud until the restaurants/bars shut down. The photos online do not do the place justice. Better this way than the other way around!! The place is spotless, great shower, good beds and linens, cute place and very roomy for 4 people. Soaps, shampoo and Kleenex provided (nice touch and greatly appreciated).
Kitchen was well equipped and essentials provided but we did not use it. Huge television as well but did not use this either, but it was a nice feature to see. Overall great and if you are tired enough, you will sleep through the noise.

Property location was excellent. The apartment was very clean, well stocked, and comfortable. The door lock was really difficult and we struggled to get into the apartment every day. We also struggled with some of the appliances so would have appreciated instructions. But overall I would recommend this apartment as it truly was a delightful place to stay.

It was about a 20 minute walk from the train station to the apartment. We went by roman ruins and were mostly in covered porticos for which Bologna is famous. The apartment is large and comfortable and you could not find a better location. It is on a narrow street filled with cafes, butcher shops, vegetable stands and a couple fish markets. That's just in one block! Everywhere we turned there were magnificent buildings -- the Piazza Maggiore, the two leaning towers, and of course, lots of beautifully painted porticos.

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!
5.0 / 5.0
This property is directly above a street teeming with restaurants. Obviously, these central locations are created with tourists in mind, but that does not take away from how enjoyable the food and atmosphere is. If you want to be in the middle of it all, with a nice 2 bedroom apartment, this is a great way to do it!

Comfortable apartment in the Heart of Bologna
Julia’s apartment had everything we needed for a week in Bologna. You cannot get closer to the heart of the city than this apartment. The best food and historic treasures are just out the door.
Communication with Julia was easy and she responded quickly every time.
Beds were exceptionally comfortable and the AC was very welcomed during the hot days.
The only downside and really it is not a downside and wasn’t a problem for us at all- but keep in mind- it is right in the middle of the market and restaurants here are quite popular (rightly so) and stay busy until very late. The black out curtains were perfect and the sound really wasn’t bad and when it got quiet it was very quiet.
A great little apartment for our trip to Bologna!

Location, Location, Location!
Lovely apartment. Very clean and comfortable. Located directly on a busy pedestrian street with restaurants and markets right outside the door, and only steps away from Piazza Maggiore. About a 15 minute walk to the train station. Julia responded quickly when we had a 10pm issue with a key and were panicked about getting in. It worked out fine. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Great Location
My friend and I spent 4 days in Bologna and the location couldn't have been better. We were steps away from the historic downtown, dining and shopping in every direction. The accommodations were just what needed. Also, they were close to the train station and airport.

Middle of the action
Excellent apartment. Very comfortable. Fabulous location. Some noise at night but it didnt keep us awake (and I am a very light sleeper) Would definitely stay again. Only issue for us was distance from transport but we had a lot of bags. Easy walking if you are travelling light.

Fantastic area of Bologna, apartment perfectly situated to enjoy it.
Julia was a delightful host, apartment is right there on one of the market streets known for its little outside restaurants and places to grab a drink. Loved having aircon, comfortable bed and homey feel. If you need silence to fall asleep and you fall asleep before 1 am - be aware that it is right above the action. I brought my silicone earplugs and did just fine. Btw ate twice at 051 which is right next to the apartment.

Best Apartment in Bologna!
Excellent location! The fun (and food!) starts right outside your door - literally. Easy access to Piazza Maggiore, shopping, bus stops, museums, and Regina Sophia restaurant! The apartment itself is comfy, delightfully decorated, and has everything you need. Julia, our host, was lovely and on call for anything we needed. Highly recommend this apartment!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Julia is a gracious host, who greeted us warmly and responded quickly to our questions. It is located in the heart of Old Bologna with everything at our doorstep. It is very lively, and some might find it a bit noisy. But we were not bothered by it, as it is only people talking and no music or traffic noise which is a nice change, We recommend this place unreservedly. Thank you Julia.

The Perfect Place in Bologna
Not only is this place beautiful, it's comfortable, quiet and well stocked. Upon arrival it may seem as though it will be loud, but it's not - and any sound stops at 11:00 or midnight anyway. The location is perfect - right on the Piazza Maggiore. You can walk everywhere, get a taxi or Uber and it's 20 minutes from the train station. The owner is very sweet and very helpful. Secure building with an elevator...I will be back!

Right in the middle of things!
The apartment is right in the heart of Bologna's historic district, right off the Piazza Maggiore. You are surrounded by restaurants, bars, churches, and museums. If you don't like noise, don't stay here--although the windows were good at cancelling noise. But we loved this place, all the main attractions were within a few minutes and there was always somewhere to go and to do.

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.
