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. ##### Michael C. Stayed 28 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carole M.

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. ##### Carole M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David M. Dec 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Perfect Week in Bologna I have no hesitation in giving the owner and the apartment an unqualified endorsement. Marco presented us with an immaculately clean apartment, instructions for internet, the washer/dryer, even a list of his favorite restaurants, and was available by text the whole time just to give advice on things such as which bus to take to the train station (we walked everywhere and had no trouble finding our way anywhere). We really felt taken care of. The apartment cannot be more centrally located, maybe three minutes from the Two Towers, but once we went through the front doors we were in quiet courtyard and our apartment was quiet as well. We could not hear the cars or people on the street. I was hesitant to use Vrbo for the first time, and to rent an apartment from someone I did not know before, but I was never disappointed. ##### David M.

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. ##### Hideo T.

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.
