This 100 sqm apartment is the ideal solution for anyone looking for an accommodation in Bologna city center, immersed in the atmosphere of the old town.
The accommodation opens onto a corridor, illuminated by a skylight, which leads to the various rooms of the house. The bright and spacious living room is located at the end of the corridor and is furnished with a comfortable 3-person sofa that dominates the scene, creating a perfect relaxation area where you can read or watch the 32" flat-screen TV. The space that opens next to the sofa has been used to create a very pleasant dining area, where a crystal table for 6 people stands out, complete with seats with a minimalist design. Behind the table is a bookcase occupied by an immense collection of CDs and DVDs. The kitchen, which is accessed from the living room, is fully equipped, including a dishwasher, electric oven and coffee machine.
Access to the spacious master bedroom is very choreographic: it is a hand-made and wrought iron decorated window that gives a vintage touch to the atmosphere of the property, where modern design marries delightfully with classic details. The master bedroom is furnished with a comfortable double bed (160 x 200 cm), a sideboard and a chest of drawers.
The second bedroom is located in front of the entrance door and is furnished with a chest of drawers and a double futon bed. As the room is a mansard, the sloping roof prevents from exploiting the full height of the room.
The last room is the laundry room, complete with a washing machine and some shelves for laundry.
An ottoman bed (80 x 195 cm) is part of the facilities and permits to have an additional single bed at disposal.
The bathroom is fitted with black and white tiles and with a shower.
