The positive first: the apartment was clean, nicely equipped and in a great location in Milan’s Chinatown. For our purposes of a 3-day stay in Milan it was perfect. Francesco, who organised our check-in, was on time and the communication in english using WhatsApp was without issues. Before booking the apartment, I explicitly asked the host whether parking was available in the near area. Unfortunately, this turned out to not be the case despite the host’s confirmation. Street parking is only available in “yellow” areas (for residents), in “blue” paid areas for ~2€ p.h. or in parking garages which are upwards of 2€ p.h. Francesco initially suggested we park in a “yellow” area for residents which I was uncomfortable with since one has to present a permit under the windshield or will be fined. After explicitly asking where to park legally for free, he suggested a spot a few streets away that was essentially on a sidewalk. I followed his advice for the day we relied on parking and haven’t received a fine.
All-in-all, I can recommend this stay, given that one does not arrive with a car.
