Lovely apartment in the beating heart of the city

Bright and thoughtfully furnished studio with simple lines and pastel tones. The highlight is its location: in the center of the center: the apartment is located in one of the oldest and fascinating areas of the city, in the center of the most famous food market in Bologna, surrounded by many little bars and restaurants. It is an area full of "Italian life", and the market opens early in the morning, so sometimes there can be some noise, as in all the historical center of Bologna.
