We stayed in the "Antica Brera" airbnb for 4 weeks. Overall the experience was satisfactory. There were both positives and negatives.
Positives:
1 .The airbnb is located in Brera which is a great neighbourhood.
2. The airbnb is spacious with two bathrooms.
3. There is a large bath in one of the bathrooms.
4. There is a cleaner (Ann) who comes each day to clean the airbnb and she is lovely.
5. When there were problems in the suite (the dishwasher over-flowed for example), the owner will help to fix them.
Negatives:
1. The street the airbnb is situated on (Via Solferino) is very noisy. There is very little noise insulation and you will hear all street noise
2. The airbnb is not set up for long-term stays as the fridge is very small (hotel size) and there is very little cutlery/glasses/pots/pans.
3. The owner lives upstairs and she has two dogs that bark most of the day.
4. Sometimes the owner will leave her dog alone overnight and he will howl late into the night.
5. A previous reviewer (September 2017) mentioned that the toilet seat is off it's hinges. It is still off its hinges.
6. The owner will play loud music at times and unfortunately the noise comes through the floor due to the lack of noise insulation. We did notify her of this.
7. The bed is a mattress on an elevated floor. It is very old and the springs are very close to the surface which was uncomfortable to sleep on.
8. The towels and linens are very old.
9. On Tuesdays the garbage is collected starting at 6am. It is very loud and will wake you up.
10. The host is quite busy. When the dishwasher overflowed we were left to pay part of the cost for the repair and then had to go and get the money from her. She was too busy to fix the weigh scale in the bathroom. However if there were general issues (i.e we needed cutting knives) she would take care of them.
Overall our expectations were too high for what the airbnb actually was. If you are expecting luxury your expectations may be too high. However overall it is satisfactory for a short stay.
