Great location but no living room
This apartment is in a great location, 10 minutes from Bologna Central Station, 10 minutes from the city centre. and five minutes from restaurant lined eat streets. The downside of the central location is that the area is noisy both from traffic outside and from the people who visit the wine bar and cafe downstairs. But these go with inner-city living and didn’t bother us too much.
The apartment, located on the fourth floor, was clean and airy, and the rooms are a good size. The surprise was that there is no living room and so, no comfy sofa. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a very large kitchen. There were 12 chairs in the apartment, none of which were comfortable but there was nowhere that we could sit around as a group, except on the plastic kitchen chairs. The kitchen is certainly large enough for a little sitting area to be created so we wonder why this hasn’t been done. The large yellow sofa that you see in the pictures is actually a hard backed upright uncomfortable sofa which is located in the main bedroom and was useful for placing suitcases. There is a TV in the kitchen, but all of the channels are Italian language, no BBC or CNN. Surprisingly, there is no toaster and no microwave oven in the kitchen. If you can live without a sofa, don’t mind a bit of street noise and want a clean and spacious place to stay in Bologna, this apartment would suit you well.
