Nestled in the heart of historic Bologna, this home is just a short stroll from Piazza Maggiore, one of the city's best-loved squares. You'll find markets, restaurants, and nightlife aplenty on the doorstep. We love the private balcony here – perfect for an aperitif before heading out for dinner. While the bedroom set-up won't suit everyone – the two bedrooms are split across a mezzanine level so aren't the most private of spaces – we think it's a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable stay at the centre of the action.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*The second bedroom is on a mezzanine level and semi-open to the bedroom below, so privacy is limited.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance. Children's toys and books are also provided.
*While the windows are sound-proofed, given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
*There are two flights of stairs to climb to reach the front door of this home.
