Mariagrazia’s apartment is great. Unlike the other rooms and apartments we visited on our trip, Mariagrazia operates this apartment like a true bed and breakfast. There are 4-5 bedrooms in the apartment, and all are available to guests. In the morning, there is a very generous breakfast spread with fresh fruit, coffee (both Italian and American style), meats, cheeses, pastries and even eggs cooked to order by your host. My girlfriend and I were really blown away by this, as our previous AirBnB breakfasts were simple toast and jam with coffee.
The location is fantastic. There is a metro station just a few steps away, so the whole city is just a few minutes from the front door. I’m not familiar with the neighborhoods of Milan, but someone felt comfortable enough to park their Ferrari on the street right outside. Judging by that alone, I’d assume this is a relatively safe place to stay.
The room was very nice, with fresh linens and a large bottle of water with two glasses. It has a locking door, so you can have privacy from the other guests if you wish. There were no strange smells, noises or other unexpected issues.
Mariagrazia was very nice and spoke good English. We couldn’t commit to a check-in time until the day of our arrival, and she was very cooperative and met us on the street to show us up to the apartment.
As with other Italian AirBnBs, there is a small city tax payable upon arrival - 2 euros per guest.
Mariagrazia and her apartment are fantastic. Our only problem was that we couldn’t stay longer.
