This is an ideal place for a trip to Milano and has all the amenities you'd need. Rosana, Olga's neighbour, checked us in and was super kind, great with communication, and welcomed us with a smile. She was also quick to respond to any queries we had. The check-in process was very smooth.
The studio itself is functional and has all the amenities but it isn't very big, which honestly is a good thing. The bed is comfortable, the table is perfect to sit and eat on, and there's a balcony which is great to dry your clothes or just enjoy the view (the apartment is on the 5th floor and reachable with a really adorable elevator).
The washing machine works perfectly, as does the shower, the TV, the lights, and, most importantly in this hot weather, the AC is ideal.
While we didn't use the kitchen in our short stay, it was in perfect working condition and there were plenty of dishes and utensils to make your own meals. That said, there are plenty of little inexpensive cafes and eateries in the neighbourhood (and it's Italy!) so picking up some food or eating out is easy as.
The WiFi is excellent with great speeds and no lag – a boon for digital nomads like us. And the apartment is pretty quiet so you can work without being disturbed.
While the apartment isn't far from the city centre – and there's a couple of well connected bus stops right around the corner – it does take 20-30 minutes to get into the heart of the city. This wasn't a problem for us but it's worth noting that you're staying in the city of Milan rather than the quaint little European streets some travellers prefer. We prefer being a bit away from the busy hustle bustle of the centre while being well connected to it, and this is exactly that sort of place.
It is great value for money. It's also great use of space, for what it's worth!
The check-out was equally smooth and the communication with the host, Olga, and Rosana was on point.
This is definitely the place I'll stay in again when I'm back in Milano, unless you, reading this review, have been so swayed by all of this to book it already.
