There is no better location than this if you are planning a trip to Milan. You are literally right in front of the Duomo, COVID testing is across the apt building entrance (which I needed for my return flight), the Metro station is a few steps away...and the apt is so well put together and nicely decorated. Most importantly (at least for me), the bed was so comfortable and waking up to the view of the Duomo is absolutely wonderful.
Luca is also amazing. He is very communicative, met us for the check-in process, and went above and beyond to give us suggestions. He explained everything for the apt thoroughly and met us again for the check-out process. Meeting him was much appreciated as many airbnbs have self check-in processes and while that is convenient, it was very nice to meet someone as great as Luca who was so hospitable.
I was very excited to use the an old-school elevator in the building, which takes you to the top floor. After getting out of the elevator, you have one short flight of stairs to make it to the apt. It was fine for us because we were traveling light but might be something to prepare for in case you are carrying more than a carry on or two.
Something to note as well is that it can be pretty loud at night, into the evening, which is to be expected since you are literally in the center of the city. During my two night stay, the rooftop bar next door played loud music into the evening (on a weekday) and a man on the square was singing with his karaoke system. None of this bothered me at all; being from NYC means that I am used to the noise, but it might mean that someone who is used to quieter environments might have trouble falling/staying asleep.
Overall, I am so happy I splurged on this apt because it was nice to explore the city and be able to just walk up to the apt and grab or leave something and walk right back out knowing you were close to everything you wanted to see. I highly recommend this stay!
