The physical space is nice. There is a electronic pad to let you into your door which is nice and updated. The lighting during the day is nice and bright. The terrace is cute and filled with plants. There is a bidet in the bathroom which is exciting for Americans because we don’t see that too often!
The check in wasn’t as smooth as hoped though. I would ask for the host to offer you the apartment buzzer number before you make your way over just because the response rate was not great. The host did not answer at all for about 24 hours (before & during my stay), despite the fact that I contacted him with questions and updates on my whereabouts. I waited about an hour with all of my bags outside the gate. I was so worried I would have to just get a random hotel that night. A kind lady in the building finally helped me get in (she had nothing to do with the original plans of host— so I felt really bad I had to bother her!)
The bed was two smaller beds pushed together (so just keep away from the crack) but the blanket was comfortable. Also, I don’t think the door locks from the inside, which was a little worrisome.
Overall, had the checkin gone smoother, the stay would’ve been nice. I was just bummed I lost a lot of time in the Airbnb and exploring Milan because I had to be standing outside it’s my bags for so long, and it’s not exactly the cheapest place to stay for one person. I also was not even offered any apology from the host even after all of the traumatic process.
