At check in we were greeted by a man who was not the man in the picture, which threw us off a bit - we should have been told who to expect if the host could not be present.
The apartment was small, as expected from the photographs. The kitchen was not well equipped at all - there were no sharp knives or toaster, very few bowls and mugs and not much cutlery (some of it was plastic). Fortunately we didn’t need to use the kitchen to cook but I don’t believe it would be very easy if we had needed to.
The floors all through the apartment were really dirty, which we were surprised at as the apartment is so small it wouldn’t have taken long to clean it more thoroughly. The shower pressure was also really poor although this is probably because the apartment was on the top floor of the building.
The apartment was about a 45 min walk from the centre of Milan and was mostly flat, but I would not recommend this apartment if you don’t like walking, as there are limited public transport links to the city - we found it difficult to get from the train station to the apartment with our bags, although we should have looked into this more before booking.
Overall we had a nice stay in Milan but believe the apartment should be cheaper for what you’re getting.
