A wonderful place! I stayed in Maria’s apartment for one week, and even as a clueless American traveler, I had a lovely time. The place is more like a three-room apartment, big enough for two beds, a bathroom, a small kitchen, and a foosball table. Although the building is actually located near the Bovisa train station, a bit north of downtown Milan, the city center is only a 10 minute train ride away. If you’re looking to visit Milan (or especially if you have any business at Politecnico di Milano Bovisa), this apartment is an excellent option for you.
Location aside, my stay was really made by the hosts. While Maria handles the booking and logistics, I had more day-to-day interactions with her mother, who lives next door. She is very charming! We had a communication barrier (I smartly arrived in Milan not knowing a word of Italian), but Maria’s mother was extremely patient with me. She cooks an excellent breakfast each morning, and I found myself looking forward to her visits. Good location, lovely room, and great hosts. Really recommend this place!
