We stayed in Antonio’s beautiful place for one hot week in July.
Let’s start with location:
Train station areas are not necessarily the most pristine neighborhoods in any city, and it is not an exception in Milan. But we planned to do some day trips by train and for that reason, the location of this apartment was perfect. The train station is literally only 1 min walk away, the tram and the buses are also as close. The metro green and yellow lines are within the train station. Also, very convenient for Malpensa airport transfer. Buses and trains to and from the airport are extremely frequent and inexpensive, considering that Malpensa is approx. 1hr away from Milan. In addition, if you are up for a walk, the Duomo is only a 30 min walk away.
There is a great upscale food court in the train station (Il Mercato Centrale) with all the Italian delicatesses, pricy but so good!
Grocery stores are also very close, and a wonderful bakery just a couple of storefronts away.
Apartment:
As earlier comments already stated…. this apartment seems to be also used by Antonio, the host. So you do see some of his belongings (clothes, shoes, etc.). However, this also means that the kitchen is well supplied with condiments. My wife thought the kitchen was a dream. It has everything you need to make a meal.
All kept modern and stylish. The pictures don’t lie. It is very bright, colorful and warm.
AC was challenged with 36C + outside, but we could keep the apt reasonably cool.
Elevator was nice to have since the apt is on the 7th floor.
Very comfy bed and nice shower with multiple heads.
We could not enjoy the large balcony because it was so hot in Milan when we were there. But, the one time it cooled a bit, we loved having a glass of wine there.
Host:
Contact with Antonio before, while, and after the stay in his apartment was excellent.
Overall, we were very happy with our choice and can recommend this apartment highly.
Thanks Antonio
