Where to begin...where to begin.... MILKYHOUSE IS LIKE NO OTHER....as a host myself I can be quite picky with the listings I choose to stay at. So I start with the booking itself
I sent a message to Mickey about possibly staying at this listing a received a response within minutes, despite the 6 hour time difference. He promptly addressed all my questions and I knew I had found the place I wanted to stay in Milan just based off our initial conversation. So I booked (months in advance). Mickey maintained communications periodically as the trip approached to see if we had any questions or special needs.
On the day of our trip, but a week prior to checking in at Milky House, we had a change to the reservation and I would be traveling alone. The Milkman jumped into action and removed the second guest to save us city tax, offered to cancel or change the reservation if needed, and even offered kind words as this change was not expected and was quite devastating. My husband was denied boarding due to passport restrictions. Again Mickey delivered top quality service.
As my trip began week Mickey continued to check in on my travels and progress. The Milkyhouse was the last stop on my journey. He even offered suggestions and wise words about traveling alone, since I unexpectedly now was.
Checking in was flawless. That day Mickey coordinated everything. My flight was delayed and unfortunately I was unable to be greeted in person to thank him. Everything is automated. Directions to the flat were clear and concise and I found it without any problems. Got through the gate and door with ease.
Now for the good part.
I walked through the door and was just in awe of how amazing this flat really is. It’s EXCEPTIONALLY designed and even features some of Mickey’s own professional photography work. I dropped my bags and just stared to explore the space. Every step finding something specifically curated by the Milkman. It’s like a mini museum of modern art. I quickly changed and set off for dinner at Strippoli, which Mickey recommended and it did not disappoint. The bathroom provides a shower to satisfy any traveler, which is sometimes hard to find in Europe, and is stocked with shampoo and soap hand picked by the Milkman himself.
Tired after dinner and my day of travels I made my way upstairs to fine a luxury memory foam mattress, just like at home, and had my first good nights sleep in Italy! My 8 previous days of miserable firm mattresses faded away and I drifted off to sleep.
The apartment is also filled with technology you’d expect in a tech guru’s home. Automatic blinds and windows. USB outlets everywhere, including the bathroom (don’t lie you know you will use it). The TV is the largest I have ever seen in any hotel or Airbnb. The kitchen is beautifully designed with high quality appliances.
Overall this Airbnb has set a bar so high I’m not sure even a luxury 5 star hotel will be able to impress me more. I’m an avid traveler and have stayed at properties all over the world and this apartment is now my #1.
I will plan my next trip (Greece) to fly through Milan just to stay here again for a few days. That’s how good it is!!!
If your even thinking about booking do it. BOOK THIS FLAT NOW. If you don’t someone else will and you will have lost out on a world class experience. You’re not just getting a gorgeous flat to stay in. You’re getting Mickey too. Honestly I’m not sure which one is better. I’ll let you decide :)
