The apartment and the rooms were everything we expected and could hope for. Francesca and team were always very responsive and friendly if we had a question. The location is in the heart of the action but the quality of the windows is excellent so it is nice and quiet for sleeping.I would definitely recommend this location and property.
The review was sent to me in Italian so I could not answer the question, but I can tell you in English that it is a great place, great location and amazing staff. I would totally stay again
Great place right in the center of the city. Having two bedrooms for our family was really great. The place was very clean, plenty of room. Great location too!
We had a wonderful time at this cute, convenient apartment

Fantastic for a city break
We had a great weekend at the apartment which is about as central as you can get. The apartment has everything you need and is clean and modern.
We would recommend to anyone looking for a weekend in Bologna!

Thank you Monica, we hope to host you again!
Have a nice day, Francesca
I can not recommend Asinelli Apartment enough! It was spacious, modern, very clean and in the perfect location. We walked easily from the train station to the apartment and then found ourselves in the heart of a magical city. As a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) the house was perfect and met all our needs, the free laundry and dryer access on the 2nd floor of the building was an added bonus.

A week in Bologna
The location was excellent but the unit was not quite as shiny and well equipped as the pictures may have indicated. Unfortunately someone had smoked before our arrival or in the general vicinity and the odor was strong and unpleasant. I informed the management and they seemed to be unaware
This property is wonderful! It is so beautiful, clean, well equipped, and in a fantastic location! You can walk everywhere in the city from here, including the train station. We are so grateful to find such a nice property in a fantastic location! We also really appreciated having a washer and dryer we could use. I would most definitely stay here again! Francesca was wonderful, the check in was so easy, and the property was immaculately clean and in perfect condition! Thank you!

April Italy Trip
We were disappointed by a few things. Hot water ran out before one shower, and we had 4 people. Air conditioning didn't work or would not cool down the rooms. Exact room was not what we saw on our reservation. Didn't realize laundry was not in the unit, so that was not easy to use. No good coffee maker in the unit. Would not rent this unit again.
Overall the property was clean. It was missing staging items that you see in the online pictures. Unfortunately the AC only runs from May to September at which time the heating system kicks in. It was very hot in Bologna, 85 plus degrees with no way to cool the apartment down. I reached out to the property manager but no reply on how to change. We could not open the windows as the location was very loud due to weekend festivities. Overall it was a good apartment but need to modify the AC/heat issue.
Wonderful location, very nice apartment, but some nits
The most amazing thing about this apartment is its location, up high and yet right in the action on Via Rizzoli. Weekends are 100% pedestrian, and it's quite a scene. The nights can get a bit noisy, at least during college graduation ceremonies which seemed to go on for much of the night.The apartment itself if bright and sunny, with double windows (operable), a good bathroom and kitchen, and comfortable beds. And the staff was responsive to our communications, during business hours. Our only hesitation was with the sometimes erratic fit-out of the apartment -- while there were lots of bath towels, there was nary a napkin or paper towel to be found, and only a single dishtowel and only a single sad little sponge for washing dishes. There was a nice coffeemaker, but no coffee supplied. And a nice washer and dryer down the elevator, but no drying rack in the apartment itself. And so on. With some little touches, this apartment would be quite wonderful.
This apartment was brilliantly situated- just next to the Asinelli tower in the heart of Bologna. It was clean and equipped with all that you’d need, and all access arrangements dealt with professionally and promptly. We found the air conditioning to be adequate for the weather we had ( not too hot) but think it would be rather weak if it were any hotter. The thermostat on the wall made no difference to its performance. In addition it wasn’t possible for all three of us to have showers immediately one after another as the water tank needed to heat up in between. This wasn’t, in fact, a major problem as it only took 15 minutes to heat up, but this wasn’t written anywhere in the welcome folder so caused some alarm the first time it happened. We called the management company who explained. We wondered why this information wasn’t included in the apartment information.
I rent properties all over the world. This was one of the easiest, most straightforward, easiest check-in/check-out rental I’ve done. The communication with the owner was always timely and satisfying. She even tracked down missing laundry for me! She also stopped by to fix a shutter that had blown open. Super helpful and delightful! The location is on one of the main streets of Bologna literally steps from the Duo Torri. If you are exploring the city and want to be in the heartbeat of the city you are perfectly located. I didn’t cook much so the kitchen was adequate for me—why cook when great food is right outside your door? I did buy a French Press at Coin department store across street as the Moka isn’t my style of coffee and the fabulous Terzi coffeehouse didn’t open until 8 am. A/C worked well as did the hot water. I was fortunate to have a well known opera singer in the flat above me so I heard him practicing during the day which was wonderful. The two bedrooms are nice even for just one person. During the weekend they close Via Rizzoli and students gather there until the wee hours so I preferred sleeping in the back bedroom. Black out curtains in the front bedroom and a very nice roller black out in the back bedroom. During the week I slept in the front bedroom. Both beds are really comfortable. Plenty of closet space, a safe, and weekly housekeeping. I’m back in California and miss Bologna and my cute apartment already!!

Thank you Shirley, we hope to have you as our guest soon! Have a nice day, Francesca
We arrived to music in the street and beautiful views of the towers. This apartment is well appointed and perfectly situated. We day tripped to Venice comfortably and another day we went to Modena for a cheese tour and tasting followed by Maranello Ferrari Museum. Loved our stay.
We were apprehensive when we made this reservation because the apartment had one bathroom and we are a family of five. When we got to the apartment that apprehension was lifted by the newness and cleanliness of the space. It felt like a five-star hotel. The location can't be beaten. It is in the heart of Bologna. I highly recommend this apartment and would stay there again.
