This is a great place but is let down by some very simple oversights. The tiny towels were threadbare. The basement has a damp feeling.

Terrible experience, not to be repeated. We arrived Thursday morning and dropped off our luggage because the room was not ready yet. When we returned, descending the stairs I fell because they were wet without anyone warning of the danger. Fortunately, I only had some bruises. The room was nothing special, the bathroom was leaking water everywhere and the cleanliness needed to be reviewed. The worst part was the linen: six face towels for two, so thin that you can imagine how much they could dry. To heat the room, there was a heat pump that could not manage to heat the small room given the cold days. I appreciated that the owner added some comforters and lent us an electric heater. As the icing on the cake, on Friday night we could not sleep because of the music coming from the upstairs venue. Between the music and the setting up of tables, it was already three in the morning. Moreover, the storage of the venue is next to the door of the room, a constant nuisance. I don't understand how it is possible for people to manage a business without having the slightest understanding of the word hospitality. Failed.

The answer from the host:
Grazie della recensione anche critica. É bene che gli ospiti sappiamo degli inconvenienti in modo che scelgano il posto con consapevolezza.: é esattamente il centro della città. E al piano di sopra é collocato uno dei pub della strada aperti fino a notte fonda. Il posto é perfetto per chi, avendo voglia di vivere la notte si preoccupi di non dover guidare al rientro. Oppure per chi voglia risparmiare il tempo/denaro richiesto dagli spostamenti per raggiungere tutti i luoghi della Bologna medioevale. Un museo a cielo aperto !

I stayed for two nights in this studio with its particular style. The stone walls from times gone by warmly welcome you. Everything is very clean, said by a person who values cleanliness a lot. The location deserves 10+, it is located under the two Towers, you can quickly access all the wonders of Bologna and shopping is at your fingertips. The room is isolated from outside noise as it is located in a basement. Simonetta, a very kind person, is available to give you tips about Bologna. I will definitely return soon.

Simonetta was caring and very kind. The house is well furnished and perfect for visiting Bologna. I advise against it for people who cannot climb stairs because it is located in a basement. For this reason, noise from the street comes in. However, if you are someone who can adapt to this, you will be very well. Thank you Simonetta for being so supportive and for the advice. I hope to return soon to Bologna.
