This was the BEST AIRBNB I have ever stayed at!! If you find yourself fortunate enough to having Zenit's apartment available for your dates, book it right now and forget about any other place you were considering. Maurizio is a hotelier - he has combined all the best parts of a hotel to make this the PERFECT Airbnb. Here's what I loved about the place after staying there for a month:
1. Every room has a minifridge and 55" 4K TV with a Chromecast, TONS of storage space, a desk to work from, and wired internet.
2. The beds are extremely comfortable with high-quality fabrics, pillows, and mattresses.
3. The kitchen is exceptionally stocked. Dinnerware for 24 people means you never run out of plates, and he has every size pot and pans you could imagine. We were even welcomed with fresh fruits & a bottle of wine.
4. Real internet speeds are ~900mb/s wired, 100mb/s wireless with 2ms ping times. Every single room & bathroom of the house has a strong wifi signal. He has access points in every room to ensure it! We worked remotely from the apartment full-time without any connectivity issues.
5. Blackout curtains/shutters. We had many late nights, and the blackout curtains (1st floor) & shutters (2nd floor) allowed us to get quality sleep well into the early afternoon.
6. Weekly cleaning is the default, so the apartment was always clean.
7. The location couldn't be beaten. It's in Porta Nuova, so you're surrounded by amazing restaurants and some of the best nightlife in Milan. A 10-minute walk will get you to about 20 of the top restaurants and bars in Milan. About 50 steps from the apartment are a pizzeria, a health food restaurant, a steakhouse, and a grocery store. Simultaneously, the apartment is set back in a quiet, private courtyard, so we never had outside noise issues.
8. This apartment is super secure. There is a main gate to the complex, a door to the foyer, then two large steel doors with several thick deadbolts that go into the side, top, and bottom of the door frame and safety hinges. It feels like a vault door, but it's high tech. I can unlock it from my Apple watch or phone. It's an uncompromising mix of safety and security.
I live in Airbnbs 330+ days a year, and I can say with confidence that this has been the best all-around Airbnb I've stayed in yet. Highly recommend.
