I MasCa

Getting around was easy from here. The centre, station and shopping street were all just minutes away on foot, and the Irnerio bus stop was right by the building entrance. I could get to almost anywhere in the city from there. There’s a supermarket around the corner and a few cosy bars just up the street, too. The apartment had a neat, modern design and looked recently refurbished. I’d recommend it to friends needing a short stay in Bologna.

It really is an excellent place, which makes the situation nearby such a shame. My niece was harassed by drug dealers working on the steps of the building next door, just 30 cm away. They were on scooters and seemed ready to satisfy any sad desire.

The owners and residence management were friendly and courteous, and housekeeping was impeccable. The accommodation itself is elegant, quiet, and meticulously looked after, with every comfort. It felt like home, right in the city center and within walking distance of the Towers, Piazza Grande, the train station, and bus stops. It works well for studying, work, or a holiday, especially for longer stays, and is suitable for families with children. Egidio Laurella

The owners were helpful and kind, and breakfast was generous, varied, and really good. My room was small, but cosy and tastefully decorated. There’s no lift to the third floor, and the stairs in this period building are steep. That makes it unsuitable for wheelchair users or anyone with limited mobility.
