This flat is in a great location, close to Moscova metro station on line 2 and a 10-15 minute walk from the Duomo and Porta Garibaldi station for trains to Malpensa Airport. The area is also very lively with a big range of bars, restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets nearby.
The flat had air conditioning, which contrary to many other reviews we saw before we went, is not centrally controlled, so you can adjust and control it yourselves.
It’s worth noting that if you are tall (6+ foot ), you’ll want to be aware of low beams, particularly in the kitchen and the second bedroom, which was a bit of a problem for some of us.
For those who want to cook, we noticed that several important items were missing, such as sharp knives and a full set of 6 cutlery, plates/bowls and glasses, as well as no cooking basics like oil, salt and pepper. Given that the flat sleeps up to 6 (and there are only four chairs for the table) this was an issue for us
Finally, we had major problems with the WiFi during our 5 night stay, which was only working on the first evening when we arrived. For the rest of our stay it wasn’t working, which was a real pain for looking up train times, planning trips, and simply just being able to use the internet for Facebook, Instagram, Netflix etc. While we were lucky that some of us had a small amount of EU data roaming which we could use, many people particularly those from outside of the EU would have been completely stranded without any data at all. This was ultimately a real annoyance during our stay, and although the hosts tried to fix it, WiFi is an essential basic service nowadays and had we known we wouldn’t have WiFi, we wouldn’t have chosen this apartment.
