Perfect apartment, perfect location, great hosts!

We didn’t realize when we booked how perfectly situated this apartment was to all we wanted to see in Bologna (our 1st visit)! Marco & Silvia were SO accommodating in the booking, directions, check-in, & parking! The apartment was a great retreat after sightseeing & quite comfortable in the summer heat! We would definitely stay again!

The apartment was perfect for our four-night stay in Bologna. The host was very responsive, and helpful with meal advice, and transportation. The apartment had everything one could need. Dishes, glasses, kitchen tools and appliances. We tend to eat breakfast and a light evening meal at our VRBO and splurge on lunch. There is a grocery store on the bottom floor. Bologna was a part of Italy that was new to us. We loved our stay.

Frog’s Hideaway was a perfect location to explore and enjoy Bologna. Marco was a very good host, helping us to settle in and provide a wealth of information. The apartment was equipped with everything you needed. It was remarkably quiet. I have no hesitation in recommending it.

We were on a short break to Bologna. The location of this accommodation couldn’t have been better. It was clean and had everything we needed. Marco, the host, was amazing. Kept in touch before and during our stay and was extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend. Shops, restaurants, bars, markets and transport all close by.

This luminous, spacious apartment has everything you need for a longer stay, like great wifi, a stocked kitchen, a nice shower and a comfortable living room. It's literally a 20 minute walk from anything you might want to do. Marco is a fabulous host, and is always available for any need. Be aware that you're in the absolute center of the center of town, so there can be a little nightclub noise on some nights, but nothing a bit of fan noise or earplugs can't cover. Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this apartment and would gladly stay again!

Ticks all the boxes.

It was an absolute joy to stay here. This modern style apartment was spacious and comfy for our month in Bolonga. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking some of the superb produce of Bolonga. Felt very safe here. It was very central, a stone's throw from the towers. The access was lovely, nothing difficult for us seniors. The host communicated well and was most helpful. Definitely the place to stay for our next trip to Bolonga.

Amazing location and wonderful host

My husband and I stayed at Frog's Hideaway for 5 nights. We loved every minute of our stay. The check-in process was effortless. Marco showed up 10 minutes after our call to let him know that we had arrived. He showed us the property and gave us the name of his best restaurants. Very friendly. The property was lovely, clean and had an old time charm. The location could not have been better. We were able to walk to the major tourist attractions and restaurants.

Excellent helpful host with tips, restaurant suggestions and helped arrange taxis and waited until we were picked up. Older unit inside but spacious, comfortable and well equipped, the kitchen was very well equipped. Bed is good and moderately firm. Right in city centre. Note there are stairs and narrow corridors to gain entry. Generally queiet.

Pros: Centre of town, yet quiet at night. Marco was helpful in greeting us at the check-in, helping our luggage and also helped us bring down the luggage at check-out and called the taxi. Bed was firm and comfortable. Cons: rather mixed furniture with a coffee table that is tilted. Towels have seen better days, we felt. A little investment could bring the property to a top rating, we feel.

Great location, spacious and quiet

We had a great stay at the frog’s hideaway. The apartment is very spacious and quiet. It has a very functional kitchen which we did not use because of all the great restaurants in Bologna. Our hosts, Marco and Silvia, were very attentive to any needs we had especially in making restaurant reservations for us before we traveled. They also checked on us to make sure we were OK and enjoying ourselves. It was like meeting good friends for the first time. The apartment is in a great location making everything within walking distance. When we return to Bologna we will definitely stay at the frog’s hideaway again.

Marco the most hospitable host!

Marco is amazing- met us at the apartment (we texted him that we would be a few minutes late - walking instead of taking the bus due to the afternoon bus strike - life in Italy). Marco gave us so much useful information about his favorite restaurants and told us so much about Bologna. Marco was there is see us off and to make sure in person that everything was great about our trip. The apt in an amazing location! Everything is an easy walk - so much on the street too. Apt is large and very comfortable!
