Enjoyed a 17 night stay at this excellently appointed property and couldn't be happier. The location was perfect, easy to get to everything, great local eateries in the same street in a quiet neighbourhood. The apartment was spacious, well furnished and extremely clean. Our hosts Paola and Kenneth were very accommodating and easily contactable. We highly recommend this property.

Paola and her husband were responsive and friendly hosts. The apartment is warm and tastefully decorated. The air conditioning works well, which is important in this new era of climate changes! Best location to discover Bologna - it is easy to walk to all the historic sites and about 20 minutes to the train station by bus. I would chose it again and definitely recommend it to my friends.

Was an amazing apartment to rent and right in the center of everything. Only one flight of stairs to walk up. Great little restaurants and cafes right around the corner and a short walk to the city center and train station!

The hosts of this property could not have been more accommodating. They made themselves available to me the entire time I stayed They were there to welcome me and made the check out process very easy. If I had questions about the apartment, the city, places to run and walk, restaurants, etc. they had answers and responded right away. The property itself is in a wonderful neighborhood. It is well kept and well appointed. The only recommendation I have is a minor one. I would suggest upgrading the living room furniture so that it is a bit more comfortable. I only think this is an issue if you have an extended stay as I did (two months). The current furniture is fine, just something to consider for the future. All of historic Bologna is at your feet when you walk out the door. I felt safe and secure both in the apartment and in the neighborhood. I highly recommend this property and Paola and Kenneth.

We are a mature couple with two friends who joined us for our 45 night stay in Bologna. The friends moved out over easter so we could have a brief visit from family with two grandsons. The apartment worked really well, with the two boys in the small third bedroom. Having two bathrooms was excellent. The location was perfect for us, an easy walk to Piazza Maggiore and just about anywhere in the historic centre or the gardens outside. The walk to the station is easy, but we tended to catch the bus to the station for our train excursions , which were wonderful. Paola and Ken are perfect hosts and responded quickly to any issue we may have had. We had a lot of dinners in house as two of our group love shopping at the fresh food markets and cooking up something special. The kitchen worked well. Highly recommend this comfortable, nicely appointed apartment. Annette & others
