In this super hot summer, the air conditioning in the bedroom was excellent. That was the biggest plus in the apartment! Mary is a very friendly host and she called her niece at check-in to ask us in English if we had any questions. The location is very close to public transportation and the trains which run right by the house are not a problem at night since the bedroom faces the back courtyard. We also could use Mary's parking space for our car which is fantastic thing in a city without many public parking garages. The bathroom is only ventilated through the open window without screens and mosquitos are a big problem in Milano, so a screen there would be a major help. Also brighter lighting could also be useful in the apartment which is a bit dark as it is on the basement level. There was a no smoking sign but to us, we could smell old smoke in the apartment. In general, it was a good stay for the price.
