A little info about us (the travellers) so that you know if this review will be helpful for you - we were two young travellers looking to experience the fashion, culture and nightlife of this city, spending most days AND nights out and about!
Valentina was an amazing host with a plethora of knowledge that may even rival the tourist info centre. She was always at hand whenever we needed her, even for menial bits of advice and had a pleasant and fun manner.
The accommodation itself was lovely, bright and airy. It can get a little cold in there, but I think that was also to do with the time of year. If you can't handle stairs, then do not book this place, but if you don't mind being next to a flyover and want to see real Milanese people going about their daily lives from your balcony or window, then this is the place for you. Valentina provides enough bread, jam and coffee for the week (if you know how to use a Moka) and will even provide milk suited to your dietary requirements if you ask. There's also tea, sugar and honey available too. The Nespresso machine is good if you wake up hungover one morning - haha! It's only 50cents in the honesty jar for a coffee.
There's a mall located nearby and bus and tram stops are just a short 1 - 5 min walk away depending on what bus or tram you need to catch. Underneath the flat there is a lovely patisserie where they do good croissants and coffee and just to the right of that is a Tabacchi where you can get your 24 hour travel card to explore the city. The longest time it took to get somewhere was 45 mins, but that's because we were going to the other side of the city, otherwise expect travel to take as little as 15 mins.
Really good location, lovely place and a fabulous host. You would be silly not to book with Valentina!
