Me and my partner stayed at Vernoica’s apartment for a week while visiting Milan, the Expo, Lake Como, and Lake Maggiore.

(+)
- Close to several grocery stores, bakery, metro and navigli canal area
- A beautiful place with a quaint rustic feel. Authentic and distinct. An interesting and personal space.
- Good value.
- Though the apartment is small, it makes great use of space. Large bedroom, comfortable sitting area, adequate kitchen. Bathroom is open to bedroom with separate toilet/bidet room.

- Poor Instructions: Veronica was not there to meet me at the apartment and instructions were not all that detailed (I would not have found the place had I not matched the AirBnB photo to the outside of the building). Instructions were only emailed an hour before my arrival - if I had not had a smartphone with data plan this would have been problematic.
- No working wifi: Even in our correspondence Veronica acknowledged "Wi-Fi works only near the windows or in the courtyard". Wifi worked on the day of check-in but never again. Attempts to contact Veronica regarding the issue were not fruitful.
- Heat & Mosquitoes: The apartment is not air-conditioned. Two giant windows (with no mosquito netting) as well as two fans allow for some respite, but this means mosquitoes do enter the property.

Overall we enjoyed our stay in Veronica’s apartment, but would have appreciated if some of these key issues had been addressed - we would certainly not have chosen a property with no wifi and found it misrepresentative to suggest the property has wifi when it in fact does not.
