“A due passi dalla stazione, con la città a portata di mano.”
The accommodation from Mr. Angelo was cordial and attentive; we never met in person, but he always replied promptly to every request via WhatsApp—an absolute rarity in Bologna for price, location, and quality. Most city prices are high, so people often stay outside the main avenues to save money. Here we were just a few steps from the station (you can step off the train and walk in a flash), on the avenue at the entrance of Via Indipendenza, so everything was within reach. The place is part of a divided apartment; my room consisted of a large room, a big private bathroom with a shower (towels and some liquid soap packets were provided), and a passageway that had a mini‑fridge and a boiler. Total privacy: the only common area was the apartment entrance (no kitchen), and each guest had a key to their own zone. Everything had just been renovated, so it was very clean. The furniture was very minimal, hotel‑room style (including a wall‑mounted hair dryer in the bathroom). The room had no wardrobes or drawers, just a coat rack with hooks and a few shelves. I travel very lightly and had no trouble, but I imagine that for those with different habits (or staying for longer periods) it would be convenient to have a piece of furniture to store belongings, a small table to work, or even just to sit at a computer. The double bed was very comfortable, as were the pillows; the air conditioning worked perfectly; there was even a small balcony for exclusive use. For a solo traveler like me, I can’t think of a more comfortable and convenient solution in the city.
A few extra pieces of furniture (a wardrobe, a table) would make the room more functional, as it is very sparse. Also, a few hooks in the bathroom for towels would help. Otherwise, everything is more than perfect.
