Historic Center
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (1 review)
"The studio is well located between the Piazza Maggiore and Bologna Central Station, making it a good location if you are traveling without a car. The kitchen is furnished with pots, dishes, silverware necessary for cooking, however more dish soap and a newer cleaning sponge would make cleaning up more certain. The washer and dryer were appreciated. Check in via online website was difficult, but Nicholas was wonderful in meeting us and giving us the keys."
