This spot was fantastic and centrally located to everything we could possibly need. I love that you could hear the night life beneath us at the restaurant and it wasn’t bothersome when going to sleep. Super clean, bathroom is stunning - though watch your step! Would love to return in the future and spend more time. Thank you!

Great stay in Bologna

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!

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.

Perfect Place

We so enjoyed our 5-night stay at the apartment on the via Pescherie Vecchie. Very quiet for being so incredibly central, just off the Piazza Maggiore in a lively and fun location. The apartment was clean and nicely furnished, and very reasonably priced. Julia was helpful and communicative throughout the process. Great find!

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.

The apartment itself was cute and location was very good. The problem was all the electrical was a big problem!when we arrived we tried to make a cup of tea and the kettle blew and then nothing in the kitchen would work, the microwave, oven nothing would turn on! We contacted the host on many occasions and had to go down to the first floor to the breaker and try to get the breaker we could not get it working! Then the air-conditioning went out and I contacted our host again this had gone on and we were only there 2 days and I literally wasted half a day trying to resolve this problem! Finally she mentioned another circuit board in the apartment which when I finally tried that it got the air conditioning unit to work. Then when we were getting ready th dry our hair using her hair dryer that was provided it blew the circuits again.it was more then frustrating! She said there was a power outage in Balonga but that was not the case as the lights in the apartment did work. Also the lift in the apartment doesn’t always come to the floor so when you press the button and it doesn’t come to your floor you have to go up the stairs to find out where it is and bring it back down to your particular floor. It was a frustrating stay and when I asked for a refund of one day because we spent so much time trying to get everything working she refused it. I’m disputing this and I would say beware. We are 3 women in our 60’s and it was an unpleasant experience!

Julia’s appartment is located right in the heart of Bologna’s city center, which means that you have to walk a little bit from wherever your taxi drops you off. However, the building has an elevator, so there is no hassle to lug your bags upstairs. The apartment is nice and cozy, master bedroom is spacious and its bed is comfortable. There is central AC for all rooms and living area. Kitchen is also nice if a bit tight to the wall. However, it has everything you need to cook a simple meal. It also has a dishwasher. Julia is a very nice host. She’ll contact you about 2 days befor check-in and give you the instructions necessary to get into the building.
