Eleonora was a wonderful host, good communication but not intrusive. I had a small mishap in the apartment which she handled with the kindness and grace which unfortunately can not always be expected from other hosts, so a big thank you for that!
The apartment is clean and spacious and the bedrooms each have their own bathrooms so there’s quite a lot of privacy if preferred. It is also very nicely furnished and felt like a true home from home!
The apartment is on the 9th floor and the elevator is small - there’s not anything that can be done to resolve this as it’s part of the building but might be helpful to know if you are claustrophobic or use mobility aids, as it might pose a bit of an issue for you. For us, it was fine and the huge balcony that runs the length of apartment was definitely worth any wait time for the elevator!
The neighbourhood is definitely a
little more suburban, which we liked as it felt safe, a little quieter and still hugely accessible - you could walk to the Navigli canals, and there are busses and trams that only take about 20 mins to get into the centre and the metros could be walked to in about 15-20 minutes or you can take the bus.
No toiletries were provided, which was fine but just something to know ahead of time so you can bring your own, or pop to one of the local supermarkets (Aldi is about 3 minutes away)
All in all, it was a pretty perfect place to spend a week in Milan and we will definitely be checking availability if we’re ever back in the city!
