We enjoyed our stay in Milan! The apartment was spacious and well located, and the beds were really comfortable. Also appreciated the easy checkin and elevator and use of the washing machine. Oh and the plants were so gorgeous! That terrace and view is extraordinary!
A couple do notes — the apartment wasn’t as clean as we had expected — there were hairs on the bathroom floor and the bath mat looked used. Also the floor throughout was a little dirty. The apartment felt more cluttered than it looks in the photos —- just lots of stuff everywhere that made it hard to keep track of our stuff. The owner is a designer and she left a large rack of tagged clothing for us to browse. I like supporting people in their creative work and the clothes are really cool, but having that rack in the way was annoying. Lots of small trinkets and lamps and decorative objects everywhere— made it hard to settle in with our own stuff. It felt like we were intruding in someone else’s space.
Also the kitchen wasn’t very well supplied. Part of the point of an Airbnb vs a hotel is that you can make and store your own food. In order to do that, it’s helpful to have a cutting board, sharp knives, bowls and plates, spices, containers to store food, a toaster, a hand towel etc… It just wasn’t set up for making anything.
We washed clothes and couldn’t find a drying rack anywhere, so that would also be helpful.
