Appartamenti Pratello

Spacious Clean Hosts were amazing!

Giulio the owner was extremely warm and welcoming. He showed us where places were on the map and gave restaurant recommendations. Had we had any queries we could have contacted him by phone at any time. The room itself was in an excellent location - an easy walk from the station and also to the historic centre. The room was spacious, very well eqipped and extremely comfortable.

Location was brilliant as was room, facilities, shower

The sofa bed wasn’t very comfy

This quaint little apartment is in an excellent location for visiting the old town of Bologna. Initially you feel it is a bit of a dirgy back street with lots of graffiti and shuttered shops and businesses. However at night it becomes an absolute hive of activity with bars and restaurants full of local people having a good time, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Later you begin to appreciate that a lot of the graffiti is way beyond normal, with some brilliant forms of street art, depicting people and places, it was certainly the most impressive we saw in Bologna, and most of it can only be seen when the businesses are closed and the shutters down.

When we chose this apartment we didn't fully take on board the very limited supply of natural day light, with only one window. This does have an impact on how you feel inside which can be a bit gloomy and also means there is nowhere outside to relax. The cleanliness of the toilet and seat were questionable and an upgrade on these would be beneficial. The shower was also blocked but our host did offer to come and fix it straight away.
