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 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.

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!

In the middle of everything
What I loved about Bologna when I visited last year was the small alleys filled with lively pubs and restaurants. This led me to choose this unit which was literally on the doorsteps of some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. My only caution is that being on the doorsteps means that some of the noise filters upwards into the unit until a bit after midnight. It didn’t bother me, but if you’re wanting a bit more serene, this might not be for you. The character and beautiful chandeliers were real treats to enjoy in this very local, authentic rental.

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!

Great Location in the Heart of all the Action
My husband, son, and I stayed at this flat for two nights. Julia made the whole check-in and check-out process super easy and was very responsive when I had any questions. All of the action of Bologna, restaurants, cafes, shops, etc. are literally outside the front door. With that, it can get a little noisy at night, but nothing that a white-noise app on your phone cannot drown out. It was super convenient for everything and totally worth the little noise during the late evening hours. The flat was very comfortable and we loved that it has air conditioning (we discovered not all flats do in Europe). The bed was comfortable, too. If we ever revisit Bologna, we will stay here again.

The location couldn't be better (Piazza Maggiore was at our feet), the building is interesting, so is the appartment. It is fully equipped, AC, spacious, no problem in the bathroom. Spacious beds, me and other 3 friends slept all right. Check in process very easy, self check in. Thank you Julia, recommend!

Perfect Location in Center of Market
This was a great property, and Julia provides all the info needed to get in. Be sure to read the communications thoroughly! I had some issues because I did not, and any difficulties were my fault, not the host’s. The apartment is perfectly located in the center of the market area, so you just have to leave the building and you are in the center of it all. The Piazza Maggiore is steps away, as well as a wide selection of restaurants. Highly recommended if you want convenience to the historic district.
Loved location. It was loud since it’s in city centre (which was mentioned in description) but would stay there again.
