  Not suitable for families

  Nice apartment, very secure and beautifully renovated but we found it lacking in basics in the kitchen for both cooking/eating and cleaning up. There were no tea towels, washing up liquid or brush, kitchen sponge/cloths, also no kettle, toaster, wine glasses and other basics we would have expected when paying so much. When staying for only 4 days it seemed a bit much that we had to go and buy all the basic cleaning products!
  We also found this apartment was extremely noisy at night due to a bar on the street right outside the bedroom window. There were many people drinking on the street, it sounded like everyone was having a great time but it was totally inappropriate for a family with a 9 month old baby. We expected a certain level of street noise but this was so intrusive we had to move apartments. The local staff were very helpful and moved us the following day to a quiet but still central location.
  That said if you are going to be out in the evenings you wouldn't be bothered by the noise and this apartment is extremely well located for exploring Bologna. A wonderful city to visit!

  We truly enjoyed our stay on vicolo Ranocchi. The staff was tremendously accommodating and the location could not have been better.
