Spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, modern design, quality amenities and modern furnishings. The location is perfect for access to public transport to Duomo and other attractions - tram stations are across the road and around the corner. Close to grocery stores, authentic Milanese cuisine, diverse food like sushi or ramen, and "tabacci" for bus tickets. Safe community neighbourhood with a weekly market on Tuesdays (groceries, flea market and knick-knacks). Wish we had more time to scope out the neighbourhood!
Marco's communication was prompt, proactive and genuinely caring of our experience.
He helped us check-in early to leave our bags, and he was also very responsive to our requests (laundry liquid etc).
As this apartment is family-owned (3 generations!), we found Marco to be very caring, helpful and attentive. Travelling through Italy for 2 months, we found Milan to be the most"business" attitude city. At the first place we stayed at in Milan, after booking, the property managers were cold, answering in one-word answers and didn't seem interested in feedback - not just for us as guests, but also for the host - as the feedback pertained to the maintenance of the owner's property.
We were so happy that Marco is the opposite of cold-business interactions. He was a breath of fresh air in our accommodation experience in Milan.
He gave personalised suggestions, gave a warm welcome and despite being busy, was always responsive. His suggestions for dinner were on-point - reasonably priced, great quality food, warm service and delicious. He also lives in the apartment, so he's always ready to help you if needed.
Tips for the neighbourhood: check out the weekly market if it's on, reasonable and quality sushi around the corner (Via Degli Scipioni), La Piola for Milanese food (this was Marco's suggestion and it was perfect), Meow Nails (around the corner for great mani-pedi), Eastern Leaves (for calming Chinese tea - surprisingly one of the best-curated tea houses I've found), L'Incanto vintage (around the corner) and Petit Bar for morning coffee (2 doors down).
If you're looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay in Milan where the neighbourhood is safe and you can feel like a local, the property is clean and modern, you have access to great food, and best of all, the owner is on-hand and in contact with you directly, book with Marco. Grazie Mille, Marco!
