Compact Studio Apartment appropriately located near the centre of Milan.
Very Basic in amenities - no kettle or toaster. Bathroom handle is
falling off, no lights in the corridor, which means you have to fumble
about trying to open the front door in the dark. The apartment
gets very little light during the day. There is a little balcony but
it is full of washing & the view is not desirable. The bed had only one
pair of pillows & a duvet cover but no duvet. A bit chilly at night.
We asked about the duvet & were told it's under the bed. We checked
& there were a load of other stuff stored there - which seemed
stuffy, staid & old so did feel like touching any of it. There is
no place for your suitcase. No coffee table. The washing machine is
placed underneath the bathroom sink making it awkward to brush your
teeth. Shower is functional, however the top shower head has burst
it's seal so the water gushes out on clumps rather than a spray.
A few nice touches would have increased our appreciation for this
apartment - like have complementary tea, coffee, salt, pepper, oil,
some condiment sauces etc. They are of minor cost in comparison
to what you're getting from your guests & would garner a significant
amount of positive comments & of course a higher rating.
We communicated with Lorenzo & his friend Ana was there to welcome
us & show us the apartment & answered all our questions. Thank
you for that.
Over all - the location is excellent. The apartment needs a little
bit of improvement & TLC. It is a good base for exploring Milan.
