Bologna has more than 100 apartments available to rent, sleeping anywhere from two to eight people (though for groups of four or more, it's also wise to look into renting a villa instead).
[TK ITEMS]
Most range from €TK–€TK per night for two people, though there are flats costing as little as €TK.
Some add on a one-time cleaning fee (varies; €30–€80).
That said, apartments are rented at different nightly, weekly, and monthly rates, which vary by season and number of guests.
Some require a two-night minimum.
The one thing to remember with any rental is that you will have fewer services than a hotel—no housekeeping to clean the rooms (just take out the trash on trash day), concierge to arrange things, or staff to cook you (overpriced) breakfast.
On the other hand, you get to live like a local, have far more room than a hotel, cook some of your own meals to save on daily restaurant bills (or just go to a bar each morning for breakfast), and it almost always costs much less than a hotel.

The price categories for hotels on this site are as follows:
| € | Under €100 |
| €€ | €100–€200 |
| €€€ | Over €200 |
This reflects the lowest cost for a standard double room in low season.
Yes, that does leave a whole lot of wiggle room. Rates will be rather higher for, say, a "superior deluxe" room with a spectacular view at the height of high season. Still, we have to be able to compare somewhere—and using this metric does at least give you a relative sense of how the hotels compare to one another on price.
Since price ranges (€€–€€€) only muddy the issue, I will usually stick to a single designation for each hotel. The only time you will see a range is if a property offers more than one distinct category of lodging—not different types of rooms (many do that), but say a property that offiers, say, both private hotel rooms as well as hostel-like beds in a shared dormitory.
