The bottom line

Avesella 9 suits travellers who want a self-catering base in Bologna's historic centre, with a host known for going out of his way for guests. It's a clean, well-equipped apartment within walking distance of the cathedral, shopping street and station – but the middling ratings and extra parking cost suggest it's a practical stay rather than a luxury one.
