Amazing experience! By far the best host we’ve had! Alessandro was extremely helpful from the very beginning. He provided all the important information and made sure we know what to expect. Even that, we were still blown away by how stocked up the fridge and the cupboard were! Our family (my husband and myself, our two little girls age 8 and 5) and my sister and her two teenage kids stayed comfortably in the apartment. The 2 toilets, 3 showers are more than enough for all of us and we never felt we had to wait to use the bathroom. The location was very convenient too. Very close to the Duomo, Missori subway station and the shopping streets.
We stayed there for 3 nights and on the second day, the Nespresso machine wasn’t working properly, Alessandro came over right away to fix it. We were impressed. He was there to give us the keys (even missed his Covid shot to do that! We felt so bad!) and was also there when we left. It was 8am and he came to help us carry our luggage to the Metro station. We truly appreciated his kindness.
A note for light sleepers, you might want to sleep in the bedroom that’s the furthest away from the street, since the tram and the cars CAN be loud and ear plugs might not be sufficient. The lights in the hallway turn on automatically since it’s the safety protocol, but it can wake you up if you sleep in the front bedroom and are sensitive to bright light. So bring an eye mask.
In sum, I highly recommend Alessandro’s place and will stay there again the next time we’re in Milan with family.
