The apartment is in a good location near to the underground in a quiet and nice complex. Looks bigger in photos than is reality but can accommodate easily 6 persons. Location is perfect for a weekend in Milan, as cons maybe some maintenance is required as in the bathroom the head of the shower is broken and also the pipe-line and also all the window blinds have problems from what owner said, we had fear to use them to not broke anything.
In order to understand our fear, I will explain how the check-in works here:
At check-in Marco spend almost 1 hour to explain us what we are allowed to to in apartment and what not ( how to expand the sofa, how to power on the cooking hob, how to clean the apartment, even how to open a window - yehh I know that sounds strange ) . Even if we were tired and hungry after a long journey we were blocked to listen all this rules again and again. All the house is full of stickers of what you are allowed to do and what not ( what to drop in the WC :-)) , how to open a window, what you are allowed to cook on hob etc. ) which looks pretty paranoid behavior . First time it happens for me something like this on airbnb and fairly I don't understand this as location is not like high tech very expensive equipped but more as average-low .
Marco requested also an extra in cash 100 euro as guaranty even if this was not mentioned anywhere before and is forbidden from what I know by the airbnb rules, luckily my mother had some cash money because usually I don't keep cash money in order to accommodate there.
At check-out Marco was punctual (a plus for this) and checked closely every part of the apartment :
- opening/closing all windows
- opening/closing all window blinds
- checking if all the clothes are in place
- checking if the wc closet is functional ( lool :)) )
- checking if cooking hob is clean and not scratched
- checking if each cooking hob eye is functional
- expanding/closing the sofa
and so on... , I don't have patience to enumerate here all the checks it made . I will repeat that sincerely don't understand this kind of paranoid behavior as we neither used all the things he verified. Just after this checks that took some time we received back the 100 euro that he demanded at check-in.
If you like this strict semi-detention accommodation regime the apartment worth's the money, I sincerely prefer more the places where the check-in and check-out is fast and smooth with more open mind owners.
