Well-located, comfortable and welcoming

This small simple apartment makes the perfect base for exploring Bologna. It is a 5 to 10-minute walk to Piazza Maggiore, a few seconds from a small supermarket for collecting provisions, quiet, clean and comfortable. What could be better?

Couldn't be better

Adorable apartment, well located, super comfortable bed and gorgeous view off the terrace! All the sights, markets and restaurants were well within walking distance. Laura was always available to answer questions. There was nothing lacking in the apartment and we really love the vibe. Cozy and spacious all at once!

A lovely apartment

I very much enjoyed my stay here. The apartment was perfect for me and Laura was very kind and helpful. Kitchen is fully equipped and the bathroom has a good sized shower, larger than I have seen in other apartments I have stayed in while visiting Europe. And I found the bed to be extremely comfortable! Secure building in a quiet neighborhood, a bit out from the center but quite walkable.

Perfect apartment to explore the city

This was a great little apartment for my husband and I to use as a home base while exploring Bologna. Laura is a very helpful host providing recommendations, securing a cab for us when we departed and even meeting us early for check in when our plans changed at the last minute. The apartment is very close to the center of Bologna and gives you a nice place to relax during siesta hour when you've had too much delicious food! We had breakfast on the balcony a few mornings and the kitchen is nicely equipped if you do choose to cook. The neighborhood is quiet and we were really glad to have such a clean and comfortable apartment in the heart of the city.

Great quiet spot near the heart of Bologna

This location proved to be ideal for our two person trip to Bologna, both for visiting local sites as well as a headquarters for day trips around the area. The address is on a busy street but since the apartment is at the top and faces away from the street it was very quiet and we did not notice any street noise. The check-in was very smooth with Susy, the apartment was clean and well maintained, and the wifi worked great for planning and calling home. Although we did not meet her in person, Laura was a great guide for us and kept in touch before and during the trip, helping us with advice and ideas on getting around and seeing things. Her communication was outstanding, we never had to wait long to get a response from her. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Comfortable romantic attic

The apt is everything wonderful that you might read about. The house is very clean and quiet. From the bedroom terrace you can enjoy a pleasant view over the hills of bologna; it is very pleasant to have breakfast there. Perfect location: it is close to all the most important places of interest. Restaurants and sights are all in walking distance of this apt. This beautiful apartment is bright; well equipped kitchen, comfortable and quiet bedroom. Laura is at your service when you need her and is amiable and accommodating. It was necessary to check out a little late and she was very helpful indeed. We don't believe there could have been anything else in the apt that we would need. Don't hesitate to stay there. A good night sleep in a romantic attic is always welcome!

For us this was a great place to stay. Close enough to the busier centre to get there quickly but quiet enough to get a good night's sleep. Laura and Sofia (who met us at the apartment) were both very helpful and friendly. Grazie mille for a lovely stay in Bologna

Appartamento molto comodo e silenzioso al secondo piano situato vicino a tutto nel centro di Bologna. La nostra padrona di casa, Laura, è stata gentilissima e amichevole assicurandosi di fornire tutto quello che serve per una buona permanenza, incluse varie guide turistiche e consigli di dove andare, cosa visitare, ecc.

Very good location

Had some communication issues as owner does not speak English. Worked it out using Whatsapp. I had two back to back reservations and owner was confused. Late check in a result of apartment needing to be cleaned. Lots of stairs. 47 steps to get to unit and a dozen more to the bedroom. Cute place with balcony/patio. AC only in upstairs bedroom. Suggested to owner to ad fan downstairs. No instructions included for European style washing machine.

Perfect Apartment in Bologna

We stayed here for 21 days while visiting Bologna & the Emilia-Romagna region. It’s location is perfect short taxi from arrival airport and short 20 minute walk to train station if you wish to explore other towns which we did a lot. There are good restaurants nearby, grocery stores and many places to have your espresso or morning cappuccinos. Short walk less than 5 minutes the historic sites of Bologna. The apartment was charming and modern. The bathroom has been newly renovated and has a beautiful full standup shower which we were quite happy to find out as my husband is tall. Laura kept in contact if we needed anything. The apartment was well stocked, we made good use of the terrace overlooking the Bologna hillside to have our morning coffee. It was the perfect apartment for our stay and will be returning.

Great Apartment!

My husband and I have a lovely stay at Laura’s apartment. It is exactly like the photos: charming yet modern. It is almost a 30 minute walk to the train station which was perfect for us as we used it four times during our stay. The bedroom is very quiet even though it is a fairly busy street in a large city, so we slept well each night. The historic district is less than 5 minutes away, so it is an excellent location for eating and touring sites. There are also two excellent grocery stores nearby. We will definitely stay here again when in Bologna.

Ho passato cinque settimane in questo appartamento e ogni giorno quando sono ritornato della scuola o della città era davvero come ritornare in una piccola oasi e a casa mia. Grazie a Laura per la sua gentilezza; il tempo cattivo di questo maggio era davvero non colpa sua! Spero di ritornare un bel giorno e di imparare il mio italiano. Grazie!

A grandiose Apartment!!!

Sehr zentral gelegen erwartet und die hübsche Wohnung in der Altstadt. Die schlüsselübergabe war problemlos und unkompliziert. Die Ausstattung der Wohnung ist super, die kleine Dachterrasse läd zum Verweilen ein und bietet einen traumhaften Ausblick! Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber, eine Duschwand oder ein Duschvorhang wären hilfreich. Bolongna ist eine wunderschöne und sehr saubere Stadt und ein Ausflug lohnt sich absolut. Laura ist eine wundervolle Gastgeberin und hat sich sogar um unser Taxi für den Rückweg gekümmert. Es ist durchaus möglich das wir wieder kommen! Sehr zu empfehlen! Very centrally located and nice apartment in the old town. The key handover was easy and uncomplicated. The equipment of the apartment is great, the small roof terrace invites you to linger and offers a fantastic view! The apartment is very clean, a shower screen or a shower curtain would be helpful. Bologna is a beautiful and very clean city and a trip is absolutely worth it. Laura is a wonderful hostess and even took care of our taxi for the way back. It is quite possible that we will come back! We recommend!

Wonderful Apartment in Bologna!

Laura’s “attic” was perfect for our stay in Bologna. Easy to get to from the train station and Laura graciously introduced us to the apartment and the area. It’s walking distance to just about anything you might want to see in the area, and given it is on a busy street it is very quiet and peaceful. It rained while we were there so we couldn’t take advantage of the balcony, but it was a beautiful view of the neighborhood. The apartment was exactly as described, we would absolutely choose to stay again.

Second stay here

We booked the same apartment almost as soon as we got home from Bologna last year as we both agreed that the location along with the private balcony and inexpensive rent made this the perfect choice for us. Laura is also very helpful and answers any queries very quickly. She even gave us some information about special events that were on during our stay. We had another fantastic holiday in Bologna.

Bologna is fabulous

Laura’s little flat was the perfect place for us. We were there for a month. It has all you need for a comfortable stay. The area is becoming very trendy with loads of cafes, restaurants and a super ice cream parlour. There are super markets and corner shops within walking distance. A bus stop is just outside. But we enjoyed all the walks. The main square, Piazza Maggiore, is about a 20 min walk away. Just note that there are 46 stepsup to the flat. If you can’t use the traits, this place isn’t for you. We loved it.
