The apartment is located very close to the main train station of Bologna, but the old town is also not far on foot. The hosts are amazing, the kindest and nicest people you can imagine, and the place is extremely clean! The air conditioning is working well (no weird smell or noise) and the flat is very modern, they have automatic blinds on the windows so you can make the room dark and keep it that way. There are no noisy neighbours, the location is on a smaller street, so it is quiet. There are cafes, shops (a huge Coop with everything you might need) and diners close by. The rooms are not huge, so for us as a young couple it was very ideal. We only had one luggage with us, so we did not need that much space. Everything went well, the hosts go really above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. I 100% can recommend the place.

From the very first message, we could feel Mary’s warmth and genuine care. 🥰 Even though we never met in person, her kindness shone through every word — always thoughtful, attentive, and making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. The accommodation itself was absolutely wonderful: spotless, beautifully maintained, and in the perfect location to enjoy Bologna’s charming streets, cafés, and atmosphere. Our room was cozy, comfortable, and filled with lovely details that instantly made us feel at home. It’s rare to feel such a personal connection without meeting face-to-face, yet Mary made us feel truly welcome and cared for from afar. 💛 We’re leaving with warm hearts, beautiful memories, and the hope to return one day. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a special and heartfelt experience in Bologna.🤍

    Very clean and comfortable apartment, and the air conditioning was a real bonus. Ideal location near to the airport. Nice touches in the apartment were also very welcome - coffee, juice, some pastries/ snacks for breakfast. The host Elisabetta was very responsive and helpful.

    We had a wonderful stay at this apartment. The space was very clean and modern, providing a comfortable and pleasant environment. Its location is ideal, being just a 10-minute walk from the center, making it convenient to explore the town. The owners were extremely easy to contact and very nice, enhancing our overall experience. They even allowed us to leave our car in the parking spot until we were ready to depart, which was a huge help. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

    Ideal apartment for short or longer stays. Contains all the necessary facilities for a family. The location is just perfect, everything in Bologna city center is around the corner, I doubt there is a better location in Bologna. Spotlessly clean and the bathroom is brand new and renovated, with an amazing rain shower. The building itself is very safe. Very quiet in the night, even though it is so central and there are always people passing by. Definitely recommended!
