The location is great, it's a smaller street with less passage, no noise at night even on Saturday. Walkable distance to the rest of Bologna. On my first night I walked from the train station in the north to Tilia, about 40 minutes walk, was very nice after being in transports. There was coffee, tea, and herbal tea, both a kettle and coffee maker. My room was very spacious with room to hang my clothes and a large table on which I could work or eat (there's a microwave too in the first room before the private rooms. The hosts were very informative and it was easy to find my keys in the lock box and get in.

The room was a bit on the cold side (December stay) and there wasn't a way to turn the heat up; to be fair I could have mentioned this to the hosts during my stay which I didn't do. There was an extra duvet though so I was plenty warm and comfortable to sleep.

Our stay was truly exceptional, thanks to our incredibly friendly host. Eleonora went above and beyond by allowing us to leave our bags both before check-in and after check-out, which let us explore the area comfortably without any hassle. The room was even better than the photos—spacious, clean, and nicely decorated. The location exceeded our expectations as well; it was in a charming area within walking distance to everything we wanted to see. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend staying here!

The location was great as were the breakfast items that were delivered everyday. Beds were comfortable and the unit was very clean. The host was very good with communications and full of local information.

The only thing that wasn’t great is there is no private outdoor sitting area and no place to relax but that was probably stated in the description of the accommodations

Perfect for us. An easy walk into and out of town centre. Great AirCon, full of Bolgnese character, comfortable beds, spacious bathroom. Because there is not a full kitchen (although coffee machine, kettle, microwave, fridge) the owner (Eleonor) is incredibly generous and personable, she brought us bought breakfast each evening for next morning. Unexpected and thoughtful. Thank you Eleonor, we will gladly return and highly recommend. Grazie

The breakfast arrangement was a bit strange, but our host Eleonora was very pleasant and helpful. The delivery of the food the night before was inconvenient, at best. We loved the size of the bedrooms and the dining area. Tilia has very comfortable and spacious bedrooms. Although it is the only place in 28 days that we watched television, having Netflix in English (dubbed or with subtitles) was a nice feature, after we figured out how to work the tv. The rooms were very quiet except for one night when there was a party in the neighborhood. There were plenty of coffee pods for our stay. And, Eleonora replaced the non-working coffee maker on the 2nd morning with a new one. Eleonora had a very good grasp of positive customer service and we appreciated all of her efforts to make our stay comfortable.

The description on Booking.com said there was a kitchenette, but that was obvious upon our arrival, for a different set of rooms. The photos did not identify which apt./room they represented. Misleading (maybe, unintentionally so). The worse thing was that dishes had to be washed in the bathroom sink. I mean, who does that? It was definitely not convenient, or a sanitary idea.

The location is perfect. In a quiet building and street within walking distance of everything. great apartment with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. small communal kitchen area is very nice. Eleonora our hostess was so helpful with everything, booking taxis for us and providing our breakfast fresh every day.

It would be nice if the kitchen area had a sink to wash the dishes/cups. We had to wash them in the bathroom basin.

We needed a place for 3 male adults. I was looking for 3 rooms which was not in a hotel. Tilla offered space for 3 adults but 2 rooms. The twin room was fine even for my 6' 4" friend. We shared a bathroom. Our snorer took the double bed for himself. Breakfast and snacks were very much appreciated. Coffee was very good. Communication was very good and to be clear, the luggage holding area is at thr front of the property inside the gate. I ended up down In the basement!!

Using all of the keys was a little challenging but we got the hang of it in the end. We arrived in the dark and it was raining so that didn't help!

My room is one of three rooms in an old building but a well renovated one, with great taste. each room with a private bath and toilet. The three rooms are separated from a small reception room. my room was very spacious, with lovely two high windows, with a lot of natural light. Equipped with a small fridge, kettle, espresso machine and capsules and tea bags. Great heating (air condition), and the bathroom is also specious and hot water is available all the time. The location is perfect, in the old city, a walking distance from main historical attractions such as Piazza Maggiore, the two towers. And a several minutes walk from restaurants, bars and shops. The building is in a quite and lovely neighborhood and a very safe one. Eleonora is great with details and tips. Available to any help or question. We meet only once for few minutes. In my next visits to Bolonga, I'm definitely will be back here.

No complaints

The room was well equipped and very comfortable with plenty of space, a good sized shower, effective air conditioning, a refrigerator, kettle and coffee machine. All of the staff that we met were very friendly, especially Eleonora who made us feel very welcome 👌. The apartment itself is ideally situated for central Bologna with many interesting places close by and within easy reach of excellent restaurants and other places of interest.

The room was very spacious and with very good amenities. You have everything you need. Eleonora, the host was very kind and left me a full breakfast in the room. I would sleep there again without a doubt

I can't think of anything negative. It is a little far from the train station but there are buses nearby or you can walk 40 minutes if you feel like it.
