Molto comodo per la posizione, appartamento pulitissimo, se avrò occasione ci tornerò sicuramente.

L’appartamento era magnifico e fornito di tutto il necessario.

Manca una luce vicino al letto, ho provato a vedere se la grande abat-jour funzionasse ma era bruciata e anche in cucina c’era una luce che non funzionava. Lo scarico della doccia inizia ad otturarsi. Al piano di sopra c’era una famiglia con dei bambini insopportabili che non facevano altro che correre fino a tarda notte e prestissimo la mattina, per fortuna sono stato in casa molto poco.

Cantarana Apartments is ideal because it was in the center of Bologna but also in a quiet area.

The very central location and the quality of the apartment.

it was ok for 2 nights.

Location was fantastic. Clean , good value for money. They were flexible, it was possible to check-in at midnight.

Communication with the owners via booking was a bit difficult, but later via viber was ok. Sandra was very helpful.

First apartment in Italy that I wouldn’t return to

The location was good, the main piazza at the top of the street had a really good atmosphere. The air con was a god send!

It definitely wasn’t as advertised. We specifically booked this one as it had a jacuzzi, kids brought all the stuff they would need to chill out in there when it was super hot outside. We arrived to find there was no jacuzzi. There was 1 bath, which was unusable as it had a massive crack, and also the shower in the other room leaked out onto the floor. The bedrooms were completely different to the photos with 1 bed being in what I think should have been a tiny living room just inside the front door. I don’t think it was appropriate to say this apartment was suitable for our party size. The only place to sit was at a dining table inside the main bedroom, making it very awkward. Over half of the lightbulbs were broken, leaving the apartment very dark as when it was super hot we had to close the shutters. Our first morning I had to go and buy some cleaning supplies and give the apartment a bit of a clean. If I hadn’t been travelling with my children, I think I would have checked out the next morning and found somewhere else. The kitchen was also poorly serviced. I understand it would be small, I can handle that, but not even a bottle opener - in Italy! It would also have been a huge help if there had been some basic things like salt, as when you are only stating a short time, having to stock a pantry is excessive.

Close to center, clean, good price. The air conditioning wasn't working the first day, but Sarah reacted quickly and there was a mobile heater that we used. Sarah was really responsive and the remote check in and out was great.

There were some hooligans competing with each other as to who can be the loudest at 2 in the morning. I don't know what they had against someone living on the street because it felt personal. They stayed making noise for 30 minutes every single night. And the sofa bed was impossible to sleep in. An extra mattress on it would do wonders.

We couldn't find the comfort we were looking for at home. But thanks to our very concerned host, our shortcomings were corrected in a short time. Thank you!

Worst experience ever. Misleading pics. Beware

Centeral location

The apartment is an improvised gallery apartment. Nothing like pictures. They offered cancellation but it was not feasible for a short trip and overbooked city to start looking for a new place to stay. The room was small with not easy option to spread your bags. Bed very small and uncomfertable gallery (reach by stairs) bed AC was not working. Street level so you could not open the only one window and noise coming out day and night from street and entrace.. No kettle small mini bar. Washing machine was missing the top so it was not safe and noisy also vent was missing its cover so was also crazy loud. No garden no jacuzzi please beware of what you are booking. Pictures are misleading. Very old furnitures and sleeping area from hell Very dark apartment.

Great place to stay in Bologna

Location was fantastic. Minutes to downtown main square. Supermarket and laundrymat close by. Was slightly hard to find but our taxi driver took us to the door..is down a small side street

The 2 things we could have used was a kettle and a toaster. Besides that it had all we needed.

Pleasant

Location is very good, very centric and close to main city areas

Furniture was old, specially the sofa bed downstair. It was very uncomfortable to sleep on. Additionally, kitchen equipment was not great, we couldn’t cook us some breakfast because there was no pan to make eggs.

Not as advertised

Nothing about the apartment - 'Ewww David' Location was good.

The company rents out more than one apartment online and puts pics of all places, not differentiating. So you dont know exactly what you are getting. The pics are strategically taken to make it look more spacious and nicer than it is. We rented the '3 bed + sofa bed in living room.' Note: there is NO living room. The 'sofa bed' is placed in the front entry way. It also was not a sofa. The 'kitchen' is placed right off the entry hallway in a pass through to the next hallway. There is only one actual bedroom. The 3rd double bed is in what was probably the living room and adjacent and visible to the dining room. We couldnt find the 4th bed. We opened what we thought was a closet - and found the 4th bed. The bathrooms were a good size and the showers worked. The apartment felt grimy not fresh, same with the bedsheets. Stains on the ones in the bedroom. We looked for cleaning supplies and there was a mess of products shoved into a closet. But no laundry soap. Air conditioning was ineffective in main space as its too big. Better in the bedroom. No complimentary coffee or tea or coffee maker. After booking the apt, the company communicated well and was responsive up to a month before our stay. Then they stopped communicating/stopped responding to my texts through booking.com. A couple days before our stay I directly texted the number they gave to confirm our stay - no response. Then the morning before our stay I got a text on WA confirming our arrival for that day - wrong date. It is a self check in - no one greets you. So they want u to send them pics of your passports - in no way secure! When we arrived, there was another family trying to get in using phone # provided to unlock front door. - It did not work for either of us. I phoned company and they had to buzz us in. In summary, description was not accurate re bed lay out, apartment felt dirty and unkempt, owners were disorganized and poor communicators.

My stay was good. Brilliant position. Bonus of the small garden that was a delight

The Location. The space and small garden. Hot water /shower. Adequate facilities . The host was excellent and I felt if I had any problems I would be listened to and they would be resolved . Nespresso coffee machine was a bonus so took my own pods.

Noise from apartment above. -beautiful wooden ceiling but was also a solid floor to above? So back and forwards foot noise. (Though only one night ) would prefer duvet rather than sheets and throw on bed. Bottom of the freezer compartment was very dirty but I shut the door and didn’t look again, overall apartment and linens were clean. Could of done with a couple of tea towels and a kettle but not really a problem to be without and Im sure the host would of supplied if I had asked. I didn’t like the spa bath and dining table in the room . When I was booking it put me off as it looked weird and cramped so didn’t book as a first choice . I moved the chairs to the kitchen table which worked better as was able to make use the kitchen more (before was a table but no chairs ) To make this apartment better I think the spa bath should go, it adds nothing . I didn’t use it because it was just so wrong within a large room. Very exposed and odd. The adjacent dinning table was not needed as there was a table in the kitchen. It should also go as very wrong aesthetically next to the bath. I think another chair or small sofa and a coffee table would work brilliantly in its place as there is enough space to have a relaxing corner to sit and work if needed. But happy to put up with quirkiness of the apartment for future bookings ( as I would return) because it was overall good value and if these imperfections were resolved it’s would probably then be more than my budget.

Ask for photos of bathroom before you book!

Very nice and modern, employees had very good communication. Kitchen well equipped. very good location.

the bathroom had disgusting black mold in the shower. $100 per night including cleaning fee this is unacceptable. With this condition it should have been max $50 per night.

Can not recommend

Good location, close to the city centre, quiet

No service at all. The emergency number is not available, the person there does not speak English. The apartement was not properly cleaned at arrival. We contacted the emergency number, the reception number several times until we got a reply. Our issues were disregarded. Only after calling and reminding them about several times the next day we received basic equipment that did not cover any necessities. The owner was very unfriendly and even insulting. Can not recommend. No response or reaction from booking either.

Cute flat in perfect location

The flat is in a perfect location and has a nice little kitchen, enough to make small meals for two people. Communication with the owners was easy. All in all a nice, cute little two room flat that I would recommend.

Unfortunately the insulation from the window was such that noise very easily filtered in. As it is a busy location it often felt like other people were inside and so noises could be a bother. The place is also dark, but this is no issue for a holiday flat.

Location kicks arse. Spacious place. The staff are very helpful and kind, they put a cot up for our baby. The dog was allowed in too. The garden looks absolutely amazing, so cozy! But unfortunately we had the flat that only looks onto the garden but doesn't have access.

There was a strange smell from cleaning liquids, the kitchen is badly equal - the kettle had no lid for example and the washing machine didn't work-, only one key between four of us, the sofa in the entrance is hard as rock.
