Great location and good property for the two of us.

The location is great as it is just outside of the super touristy area but close enough to make walking everywhere no problem. We took advantage of the local bakery, deli and vegetable market etc. I would stay here again in the future.

Unbelievable location! Perfecto!

The best part about this apartment is the host. Such a delight and provided us with all info needed for a perfect visit to Bologna if you want the local experience. We even left a cell phone and Luca shipped it to us. The best experience!

Convenient lication

Everything was perfect. There were 4 adults so 1 couple in one room, an adult in 2nd room and 3rd adult slept on the foton in an off side room. Communication with host was excellent. A small market right across the street and a couple cafes located close by. Walkable to Neptunes square and shopping. Nice patio courtyard outside where my husband smoked his cigar. Very good stay!

Great location, short walk to the old town and restaurants/bars. Good size and very glad of air con! Garden is overlooked by upstairs apartments and cooler inside whilst we were there so didn't use garden. Supermarket also a short walk.

Usual story

I wouldn't use 'Wonderful Italy' again. They're focussed on sales and not customer service. They offer a 'local' experience but provide nothing more than generic city stuff. They failed to tell us we were staying during a public holiday - a heads up would have made all the difference. You really had to chase to get any info - nothing about the weird taxi situation in Bologna. We had to sign the contract on check in when we were tired and it was late so had no choice! Like many properties that aren't actually used by the owner, it was unloved - drawers & lights not working, none of the many clocks worked, leaky shower which we were told to clean out because it was blocked! The garden was untidy and poorly looked after. No mats, so the mud/leaves come in with you everytime. The neighbours clearly unhappy about renters. The 2nd bedroom was very cold. We could ntot use the dishwasher because the door wouldn't open more than a crack. The hairdryer was iffy - needs checking by an electrician. There are only 2 comfy seats in the common area!

This apartment was perfect! Clean, close to everything but not right in the middle. Luca’s communication was excellent! He made great suggestions. Air conditioning in both rooms. Cute outside space. We were rent happy!!

The owner was amazing and understanding of our canceled flight-the owner allowed us into the property quite late at night understanding we were exhausted. Great communication. The place was wonderful-clean and comfortable. We were able to cook-there was a dishwasher and we had everything we needed! It was well stocked as well. THANK YOU

Goede locatie om drie dagen in Bologna te verblijven

De incheck was haastig. Ze wilden een precieze tijd die niet is te geven in het Italiaanse verkeer. Het contact met de agentschap gaat via app. Dat is op zich niet verkeerd, maar het heeft wat onpersoonlijks en het gaat vooral om de regels die nageleefd moeten worden.

Visite de Bologna

Appartement bien situé pour visiter Bologne, tout est faisable à pied. Comme pour énormément de location,l’équipement de la cuisine peut être amélioré. ( puls de 4 verres, fouchette et assiettes rend la vie plus facile ! La possibilité de manger à l’extérieur esr un plus, mais il faudrait prévoir une table qui le permet à tous les convives (4). Accueil sympathique et efficace, Ares nous a renseigné d'excellents restaurants, suivez ses conseils sans hesiter!

Angenehmer Aufenthalt in Bologna

Das Appartement liegt an guter Lage, ist sauber und hat alles was man braucht. Leider war die Kaffeemaschine nicht da, dafür die Kapseln und natürlich eine Bialetti also alles gut.
