Location:
It’s better than fantastic! Just across the street is the subway and Milan’s famous castle. The next street to the apartment is Via Dante (a pedestrain street). Walk street and you’ll reach the Duomo & Galleria in 7 mins). Along the way, there are lots of food, cafe and shops like Desigual, Kiko Cosmetics, Sephora et al. If you’re joining day yours in and out of Milan, Zani Viaggi Tours is literally just 1 minute’s walk away!
Apartment:
Nice basic apartment. You get what you pay for. I didn’t mind it as I was out the whole day.
Food:
There is a burger joint, Hamerica’s just downstairs the apartment/ outside the building. If you want to eat cheaper food, there’s a burger cum hot dog stand just outside of the subway/10 seconds walk from the main entrance of apartment bldg.
If you want a sit down meal, Via Dante and the next streets have lots of reasonably priced food. I followed Tripadvisor’s recommendations and I ate alot at Ristorante Luna Rossa. Its very reasonable and lots of Italians eat there. So u know it is good!
Flexibility:
Laura is an amazing hostess. My flight arrived early and she allowed me to check in by 8am! I truly appreciate this gesture as I was so tired from the flight. I could rest for 3 hours before hitting the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele.
She was equally flexible with her check out. I checked out at around 11.30am to head to a Milan hotel to join a 10 day Northern Italy with Cinque Terre tour with Trafalgar.
Bathroom:
The bathroom is very small & I suffered a small injury to my feet when i was coming out of the bathroom. I wished the glass door is removed. It makes going in and out of the bathroom very difficult. The glass door tip injured my leg and it took a few days to heal.
Other than the bathroom, the rest of the place is perfect. I would stay here again for the price.
