Nice centrally located apartment. Ac was a bit under powered - took a day to cool down from 30c to 25c. Close to restaurants and shops, perhaps a little loud in evening.

Great stay

The apartment is in a great location and is clean. we stayed 3 nights without any issues. The street is busy and loud during the day and night. We had great communication with the host and her assistant. I would stay there if I returned to Bologna.

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.

We had a wonderful stay in Julia’s apartment in the Quadrilatero neighborhood of Bologna. It is a charming apartment and pleasant (short) walk to many of Bologna’s attractions, restaurants, bars, shopping, etc. As other guests have noted, because the apartment is in the heart of the Quadrilatero and above lively restaurants, there is a lot of noise at night and in the mornings so I would highly recommend earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Thanks to Julia for her patient and timely directions as we had some difficulty finding the location of the apartment when we first arrived at night.

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!

Lovely Property but Loud

The apartment was beautiful and worked very well for us. Elevator access was very convenient. The smells of Bologna (the food!) were amazing.The only negatives were the sounds of the restaurants below. The patrons were happy and enjoyed themselves late into the night. Also -- on Saturdays, finding a taxi service with our suitcases and wheelchair was difficult since all streets in the area closed off for foot traffic that day.

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.
