    The apartment was spacious, very comfortable and at the most central spot of the whole city. We really loved the convenience.

    Shower tray could’ve been cleaner. Milk pods could’ve been added to the coffee tray, and a tissue roll.

    Property was clean however the shower tray had quite a bit of mould on the corners which can be easily removed so showering wasn’t a pleasant experience.

    Great location for exploring Bologna. Super cozy with everything needed for a short visit. Having a lift and washing machine (second floor) also made life a bit easier. Loved our stay here and would happily return. Also had great comms with the hosts.

    Nothing in particular.

    The location is splendid! Right in front of the two famous towers, in the very center of the city. Every attraction is within walking distance. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Despite being on the top floor, it was not hot due to the great air conditioning and good circulation. The kitchen is very well equipped.The terrace is a great spot for having dinner.

    Nice clean / tidy residence in the heart of Bologna, literally a stone's throw from the Twin Towers.

    Very small issue (that I'm sure the Petronio Team would have addressed if we had raised it) was the built-in safe did not work. One further issue that both my wife and I found awkward (but not insurmountable) was the size of the Shower Cubicle in the bathroom. The only way to describe it was 'very cozy'. Taking a showers were not the highlight of our days. The shower equipment was all clean and of a high quality, however the depth of the cubicle made it challenging to get into / move around in.

    Location great. Plenty of a nice Restaurants / Shops, virtually on the doorstep. Lovely establishment (Pizzeria Gingio) literally 20ft from the apartment entrance where we would have a morning Coffee + Croissant to start our day and also finish with a nice Nightcap. Due to the timing of our stay we didn't get to meet the Petronio Residence team, however we saw evidence of the apartment being cleaned / tidied after returning from our adventures. Keypad entry was great! No worrying about losing keys. Lift was available, so no problems with dragging luggage up staircases. We were on the 1st floor of the building. Bologna is a lovely place to visit; locals are very friendly and welcoming and the city is packed with both fascinating and beautiful architecture. There are also bus tours (with commentaries) that will give you an idea of where to visit. There are also many 'hidden treasures' to be found down narrow streets that are worth investigating.

    A water bottle would have been nice.

    The location is extremely good. Impero caffe is at one minute walk where you can serve a very good breakfast. Even you are on a very busy street, the windows isolate the noise very well.

    There was a mirror in the bathroom and one on the inside of the shared wardrobe door (in hallway) but additional mirrors in the bedrooms would have been more convenient.

    The location was very central- within easy walking distance of attractions and restaurants. The apartment was easy to access and felt safe. It was clean and comfortable and was a great place to stay during our city break.

    My mother is 94 yo and does not walk too well. The entrance has a few shallow stairs, which I did not expect. Luckily it was well-lit so she could see where to step. A handrail on the wall would be very useful.

    Perfectly located in the centre of the historic district and accessible by taxi and bus. It was such a pleasure to be able to walk to tourist sights. The beds were so comfortable (I like firm), the kitchen was nicely maintained and the washroom was clean and modern. The management was off-site but responded quickly to our messages. It was like having a friend around the corner!

    Would prefer that it had a double mattress topper as the gap between the two beds was noticeable.

    Location fantastic. Clean. No staff at the residence but helpful instructions meant that that was no issue. Had safe, iron etc. which was nice. Also helpful map and qr code with recommendations. Gifted bag was nice touch.

    Would have been nice if there had been some water/ milk in apartment on arrival. Little noise at night.

    The apartment was in the city centre. Perfect for all the tourist attractions and restaurants. Apartment was great to come back to at the end of a long day to re-charge before dinner in evening. The Petronio Residence were excellent with all the information you need.
