Warmth of tradition mixed with excellent functionality and convenience – this is Erin, our newly refurbished, three-bedroom apartment in Bologna, the Italian capital of gourmet food and hospitality. Erin is located in one of the most colorful, safe and friendly neighborhoods in town, with plenty of stores and restaurants, only eight minutes from the city center and the fairground, just five minutes from the railroad station. This beautiful, extra-clean apartment features three large bedrooms that can sleep up to seven guests as a whole. There is a great living room, a hallway, a bathroom, a fully-equipped kitchen and a lot of storage space. According to the local tradition floors are made of original, turn-of-the-century decorated tiles, ceilings are stucco. Windows have just been renovated to ensure maximum quiet and insulation year-round. All rooms are exceptionally bright, with nice views of the street and backyard. Select new furniture and perfectly working appliances make this apartment extremely cozy and functional. Parking is available both on the street and, at times, in a private yard, where a couple of old-fashioned craft shops still operate. Enjoy buying bread directly from the bakery, meat from the butcher, vegetables from the greengrocer – exactly like people did 100 years ago. All these shops are no further than two blocks from your door. Walk to the center of Bologna, and stroll along the porticoed streets. Admire the historical monuments all around and shop at the medieval market. Enjoy wonderful espresso coffee while relaxing at a café and people-watching. And at the end of the day, your cozy apartment will welcome you back and provide a lovely sanctuary for you to relax and prepare for your next day in Bologna. TESTIMONIALS == "Appartement trés bien tenu. Facile d'accès par les transports en commun. Rue passagère et surtout commerces à proximité. Vue sur cour ombragée avec petit balcon agréable. Equipement trés complet et accueil charmant des propriétaires. Séjour très agréable. Rien de négatif." (Ilio A., France) "The apartment was very clean, large and nice to stay in. It was within walking distance to the station and several restaurants and cafes. We enjoyed the apartment very much." (Kennet O'Hara, Ireland) "My daughter, Kathy, and I want to thank Miriam and Roberto for the use of their Bologna apartment for 10 days in September. We could not believe our good luck when Miriam escorted us into the property. The 3 bedrooms are lovely and the balconies are a nice feature. The apartment was very quiet. Everything was bright and fresh. The city maps and literature we had been provided were helpful. The location is ideal for sightseeing. We took the bus to many spots in town - the stop is right at the door - and the train station is a 10 minute walk. There was also easy access to taxis all around and a supermarket up the street. The seafood restaurant next block was just fantastic. In 10 days we were able to see all the museums, Ferrara, Venice, Florence, Pisa, Mantua, Ravenna and bits and pieces of Bologna. Erin apartment was an excellent choice. I would use it again without question. (Ken H. Bretton, Kentucky - USA)
