This place is really fabulous. I’ve stayed in loads of air b n b’s and if I came back to Milan I would book here.
The area is great for access to METRO as it’s actually a 5 minute walk to Central Station- we timed it!
The area feels safe, and the building itself is well maintained.
Inside the apartment is very tasteful, stylish, high-end apartment and really does look like the photos. Sofia has though of everything. Having a washing machine was important for me as I was/am travelling for weeks. Sofia left pods so I could do a wash.
There were snacks and wine and bottled water, also and some lovely toiletries.
The terrace is a bonus but we never used it as we were out so much. Great for drying clothes!
The front bedroom is towards the station and a big road, however, there is traffic calming and one side of the road is blocked off permanently, so no traffic noise. You don’t hear the trains either; the sound is minimal. This is because there’s double glazing and there is a metal shutter; blocks out light and sound.
Bathrooms and fittings are high spec.
Mosquito netting throughout so, fresh air is available without the bites!
Sofia checked often on WhatsApp to make sure everything was ok, which was nice.
There is a nice cafe which is only open Monday to Friday for business folks breakfast and lunch time. Great coffee.
There’s also a Beer-house, which sells specialist/craft beers a couple of doors along from the apartment. Heaving every night! Rally nice inside too with fab music.
For food etc, head into the area of Brera as it’s full of good restaurants and busy bars all close together. Metro stop Lanza on the green line. It’s away from the main drag, where the quality can be iffy and overpriced.
Sartoris ice cream trailer is on the walk up to the station - nice choice and staff are lovely. Liquorice ice cream. Yum.
