This apartment is the best for location! We were able to walk everywhere of interest in Bologna. It is just a block away from the bus stop, for easy access to the train station. Cleanliness overall was excellent. On weekends, via Rizzoli is closed to traffic and we were able to enjoy the bustle of cafes, and the street musicians from the comfort of the well-appinted kitchen. The kitchen had everything needed to have a nice meal at "home". The couple minor misses were: the unit smelled of smoke when we arrived. It wasn't a big deal as it cooled down a day or two later to the point where we were able to open the windows and air it out. The dryer in the shared laundry room took a long time to dry our clothes (we have recently stayed in Venice and Colmar with washer/dryers, so we were able to compare with other European appliances to make sure we were not applying American expectations). Finally, one of the windows in the living room doesn't completely seal shut so the window closes but the street noise comes through. The window in the bedroom facing via Rizzoli has no problems, and I was able to sleep well with the bedroom door closed to block out living room window noise. All in all,a great value and wonderful location in Bologna, with some of the best food nearby that we have ever eaten!
