I was very excited to go to Milan. Italy is one of my favorite places. Barbara & Elena's place was not too easy to access - I was not able to open the door at first but fortunately a nice neighbor let me inside the complex. The apartment was small but nice. The biggest problem was the area. The place is located in a party area. People drink, dance and scream till 3 am. I was coming back home at 11 am and someone was vomiting on the street near the entrance. I did not feel safe, and I was afraid to walk out of the apartment at night. You can see hundreds of beer bottles all over the street in the morning.
The place was VERY cold. The bathroom was lean however there was absolutely no shelf to put a piece of soap or shampoo in the shower. The bed was comfortable, but I was always cold. There is a sign there that guests are not allowed to touch the heating. The kitchen seemed to have a lot of things but when I wanted to boil some water the kettle was rusty inside, pans had old pasta.
