Perhaps the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept in. The sofa(s) were equally tired and uncomfortable. The gas cooker hob was seriously hard to ignite - requiring several matches and a lot of luck. Great shower though... The rental company were very helpful once we were in Italy but didn't really communicate before then. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosaleen Jan 25, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Live like a local in this gorgeous apartment Lovely quaint apartment only 10 min walk from the centre of Bologna (Piazza Magiore). The apartment is fully furnished with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The double bed is exceptionally comfortable with a beautiful duvet. Plenty of space to store your clothes etc. The kitchen/dining/sitting room area has 2 couches and a table. There is a flat screen tv in the room (I think the photos still show an old fashioned one). There were no English channels but we connected an iPad to the tv via a lead we brought, so we could re-watch Rick Stein's long weekend in Bologna while we were there. The wifi is free and fast. The kitchen has all you need, kettle, sandwich toasted, fridge, microwave etc. The supermarket is a 5 min walk. Here you can buy lovely Italian wine for only €1.40 a bottle! There is also a deli in the supermarket if you want to try some local food. The shower was excellent and really warm. The entire apartment was lovely and warm (January). The agent for the apartment takes a €300 deposit on arrival - this was deposited back into my credit card a few days after we got back. She also charged a cleaning fee of €40 and a city tax of €9\. All in all this was an excellent experience. I could not rate the apartment highly enough and I would go back in the morning! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s174-p605d5020-01fa-11e8-badd-aa76e492b6a4-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1915-p71c640b0-01fa-11e8-b010-0242fed17ade-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s239-p78321500-01fa-11e8-b691-42834b9c48d7-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s321-p5ce23320-01fa-11e8-badd-aa76e492b6a4-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rosaleen Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Jurate Dec 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Jurate Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Mariano Apr 22, 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Mariano ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta All Inclusive & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Fiesta-Americana-Puerto-Vallarta-All-Inclusive-Spa.h19131.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott New York City Manhattan Fifth Avenue](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-New-York-City-Manhattan-Fifth-Avenue.h22059.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Torino](https://www.expedia.ca/Parma-Hotels-Hotel-Torino.h5300087.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Hampton Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Hampton-Beach-Hotels.0-l183565-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [W New York - Times Square](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-W-New-York-Times-Square.h853497.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/5Star-Palm-Springs-Hotels.s50-0-d180676.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Tulum - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Tulum-Newly-Renovated.h870784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vernon](https://www.expedia.ca/Vernon-Hotels.d10619.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Miami](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels.d178286.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-The-Westin-Harbour-Castle.h10931.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Atlanta](https://www.expedia.ca/Hartsfield-Jackson-Atlanta-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aATL-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Simpson Bay Resort, Marina & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Simpson-Bay-Hotels-Simpson-Bay-Resort.h1256868.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Collingwood](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels.d11938.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Best Western Plus Osoyoos Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Osoyoos-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Sunrise-Inn.h429958.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Karachi (KHI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/khi/toronto-to-karachi) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Cleveland (CLE) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cle/yyc/cleveland-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Jeddah (JED)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/jed/toronto-to-jeddah) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Liberia (LIR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lir/toronto-to-liberia) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Rio Segundo (SJO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/sjo/calgary-to-san-jose) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Wichita (ICT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ict/vancouver-to-wichita) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Newark (EWR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ewr/toronto-to-newark-liberty-intl-airport) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Norman Wells](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Norman-Wells.d4105-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities ### Vacation Rentals ### General > [Visit Santa Rosa Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Rosa-Beach.dx183118)
