Great place for couples. It’s very close to Milan Central Station, which is great for day trips to other locations- but the area can get a little sketchy at night. It’s about a 30-40 min walk to the Duomo and most tourist things. On the plus side the neighborhood is more quiet than the more touristy areas of the city.
When we arrived to the apartment most of the lights upstairs were burnt out and the remote to the tv in the bathroom was missing, which should’ve been handled before we got there, but the host corrected it after we brought it to her attention. Additionally there was one roll of toilet paper and just one set of towels for our 7 day stay, no hand soap in the bathroom or paper towels or facial tissues anywhere, and there was one disgusting old disintegrating sponge in the kitchen so we had to go out and buy all that ourselves at the grocery store. We left it all there for whoever stays next.
The apartment is on the ground floor so expect some echoey noise from people coming through the lobby. Additionally the acoustics in the apartment are a little weird so you’ll be able to hear everything each other are doing.
Several of the lights in the apartment are on motion activated timers which proved to be extremely annoying- especially in the bathroom trying to get ready in the morning. I had to wave my arms in huge sweeping motions just to keep the lights on every 20-45 seconds!
The bathroom of this apartment was the main reason we booked it but the shower proved to be very difficult. There’s a bunch of different water settings but all just seem to make a mess as there’s no shower door. Every night we would end up flooding the floor in there and having to tip toe around to keep from slipping. It seems like an accident waiting to happen. But the tub was great and very relaxing.
We dealt with some slow responses from the host but overall had a nice stay. Even though we found a plastic bag of what appeared to be a bunch of women’s underwear shoved in a crevice just before we checked out lol.
