The only thing that was not welcoming was the single step leading to the bathroom that I tripped on a few times and the hard master bed after a long day of traveling with baby and then immediately hanging out all day with friends, but I still managed to sleep well. Everything else was lovely and great value. Giovanni was super communicative. Alessandro was flexible and friendly as I wasn't sure the exact time we would arrive. We were able to get in early which was nice. The location had really easy access to public transport, the city and the suburbs, grocery store, pharmacy. The neighborhood itself is quite lively, with plenty of enjoyable eateries to try. I only tried a California bakery and spent time in other parts of Milan. Porta Romana was a great place to come back to each evening however. The apartment is on the 1st floor, so thankfully our travel stroller was super light for carrying sleeping baby up and down. The less-sturdy wheels struggled on the streets and sideways, but I quickly became a pro. Make sure baby is always buckled into the stroller. For the love of God. Giovanni had many, many little touches to make our stay as guests easier. Including fruit on the table, breakfast items and cold drinks in the fridge. Perfect for the very hot, muggy, mosquito-inducing weather. And a charger adapter. It was a really good experience overall.
