Very comfortable apartment right in the centre so easy to walk everywhere. There were lots of bars and eateries around so not quiet. We walked from the station which was a bit challenging with heavy suitcases

Great location in the heart of Piazza Maggiore area. Great host—Julia was very responsive. Great apartment with lots of comfortable space. Very nicely decorated and appointed with amenities. Bed was very good and air worked great. Note: this is literally surrounded by restaurants that can be loud later into the evening. However, the double windows in the bedroom cut out 90% of the noise. But if you are a light sleeper, advise to use a sleep sound app.

Julia was a fantastic host and her place was absolutely perfect for our family! It was right in the middle of old town, so easy to walk to everything. Several nights we were able to enjoy a wonderful dinner right outside the front door. We would love to stay here again for any future trips to this area of Italy!

This was in a fabulous location! It was in a lovely area, so it was loud outside in the evenings. We were so exhausted from all our daily adventures though that this did not disturb us! The host was easy to contact whenever we needed and the place had all the amenities and supplies we needed for our stay. Also the king size bed was very comfortable! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for a lovely stay!

This was a great home-base for a few days in Bologna. The location could not have been better! The lively street below was worth the noise, as you literally walk out the front door to the best prosciutto place in Bologna! The host was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again if we ever returned to Bologna.

This spot was fantastic and centrally located to everything we could possibly need. I love that you could hear the night life beneath us at the restaurant and it wasn’t bothersome when going to sleep. Super clean, bathroom is stunning - though watch your step! Would love to return in the future and spend more time. Thank you!

Julia’s appartment is located right in the heart of Bologna’s city center, which means that you have to walk a little bit from wherever your taxi drops you off. However, the building has an elevator, so there is no hassle to lug your bags upstairs. The apartment is nice and cozy, master bedroom is spacious and its bed is comfortable. There is central AC for all rooms and living area. Kitchen is also nice if a bit tight to the wall. However, it has everything you need to cook a simple meal. It also has a dishwasher. Julia is a very nice host. She’ll contact you about 2 days befor check-in and give you the instructions necessary to get into the building.

Nice centrally located apartment. Ac was a bit under powered - took a day to cool down from 30c to 25c. Close to restaurants and shops, perhaps a little loud in evening.

We had a wonderful stay in Julia’s apartment in the Quadrilatero neighborhood of Bologna. It is a charming apartment and pleasant (short) walk to many of Bologna’s attractions, restaurants, bars, shopping, etc. As other guests have noted, because the apartment is in the heart of the Quadrilatero and above lively restaurants, there is a lot of noise at night and in the mornings so I would highly recommend earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Thanks to Julia for her patient and timely directions as we had some difficulty finding the location of the apartment when we first arrived at night.

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.
