The hosts Marco and his wife Alessandra are very very nice people and very responsive. Marco even waited for us when we arrived a bit late to the check in because we didn’t find any taxis and had to take the metro.
The location of the apartment is great and very convenient to explore Milan and the area is very safe and has lots of supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, etc. the A/C works great and internet has great speed for working remotely. The size was also perfect for our family.
But there were things that we were not expecting, the most important one, they have a dog and there was dog hair everywhere, even in the washing machine and the kitchen. The apartment didn’t have dog smell at all, but having dog hair everywhere was difficult because my son and I are allergic and my son had allergies every single day. I always book apartments that don’t allow dogs and that’s why we chose this apartment, but didn’t know that a dog lives here with the owners. Marco offered to come and clean, but we ended up vacuuming ourselves, but it was not enough. The vacuum didn’t have a lot of suction.
Also, the pictures showed in the listing are old and made the apartment look newer than it really is. The bathroom has mold on the wall and the shower was not as clean (I had to clean it). We didn’t communicate this to Marco, because they had cleaning products there and it would have been an inconvenience to have someone coming to clean while we were there.
Also, the apartment is listed as 2 bathroom apartment, but in a lot of countries this is a 1.5 bathroom apartment, because there’s only 1 shower and the second bathroom only has a toilet and sink. That was not a problem for our family of 4, but it could be for other families.
The listing shows 2 TV in the apartment, but there’s only one.
We had a great time, but for the price I was expecting something cleaner.
