Bologna Altana Deluxe

Posizione centralissima, panoramico. Ristrutturato molto bene. La signora Marina è molto precisa, attenta e gentile, grazie!

C'è una scala molto ripida per accedere al piano superiore, ma non si può migliorare, purtroppo...

The apartment has an amazing location, right in the centre of Bologna. Reception and arrival at the apartment were easy, and Caterina, who coordinated this, was really helpful. If only the weather had been better - the fabulous terrace was unused.

In general, the apartment is well laid out and resourced. The only issue is the kitchen, perhaps. Bologna is such a foodie hotspot, and great for food shopping. There were plenty of pans to cook with, but the glass plates were too small. It would be good to have larger plates and bowls to serve up your food, and basics like salt to cook your pasta!

there was no heat and they rented it knowing it because the tapir person had duct taped pieces to make it work- he showed up re duct taped it and said it still needed work - had to sleep on a fold out couch with no heat when there was snow

Location and location only.

The air conditioning was not working at all in the bedroom and they knew it from the very beginning even if they acted like they didn't. They put a fan for circulating the literally hot air since there were 40 degrees outside and also inside, the bedroom is upstairs and anybody knows that hot air goes up. The managers of the apartment claimed there was not such big a problem and invited me to enjoy the other 2 units downstairs 2 that... worked. (They worked like nonstop highest speed at lowest temperature... the space downstairs had an acceptable temperature when you came back from the city.) Well, someone has to go back to school and study some physics to find that actually they could not help at all for the atmosohere upstairs. The a.c. unit was "bandaged" with scotch tape, from who knows when. So sleep was terrible if any. If you think you can sleep with windows open, well... think again. There are no insect nets and also being in the city center there is a constant big noise, lije breaking glass at all times till morning, so this is definitely not an option. They lied to me they would send a technician, after insisting that the unit simply needs some time to start working - they actually had the nerve to ask me days after: oh, is it still not working?!? Big surprise! I also showed them photos of yellow traces of dried urine underneath the toilet seat, that smelled really bad... nothing on this side to. I have to state my deepest disappointment in this apartment, otherwise very well located... too bad they have this management. So, for the travellers wondering if it is worth staying there... think twice. Maybe only if you are alone or a couple, let's say you could sleep on the couch downstairs. Which btw is awful, metal pieces on all sides of a thin matress. Also, the curtain from the door to the balcony hanged down loose - see photos.
