We had a very frustrating weekend in the apartment.
I will start with the good things: the apartment is located in the center, just 15 minute walk from the Duomo Di Milano and all the wonderful shopping strips.
For families who prefer to eat at home there are lots of dishes and cutlery. The living room is spacious and overall there are no noisy neighbors.
That’s it for the positive side.
As for the negative side: this is definitely NOT a 5 bedroom apartment. There is one master bedroom, which is OK.
The other “rooms” are actually one big room which was cut into 2 small bedrooms, mainly fit for small children (so we can call these bedrooms, just for the sake of it). Each room has a loft on top, which should definitely not be considered a bedroom. An adult (or maybe even a child) cannot fit in there. There is no window and the total space is maybe 2.5x1.5x2. it is a cubical with a bed. So, the optimistic view is that there are 3 bedrooms in this apartment.
Second, the kitchen closets and most of their content was filthy. We found dead insects and dirt all around.
The apartment is also partly air-conditioned, but the three single units that were put in are not equipped to cool the requested area. Furthermore, the small bedrooms do not get any of the air-conditioned air.
We were very lucky to have Sonia around. Sonia is taking care of the apartment for the owners and was there for us when we needed her. She brought up 2 fans from the basement to allow us some sleep during the hot nights and also cleaned up some of the dirty closets. She was very embarrassed to see the situation.
The bottom line is that we were very disappointed. We have definitely not received the value for the money we paid. Me and my son slept on a mattress on the living room floor so we can get some sleep.
