We stayed 2 nights in Milano recently, and called 36 Via Vincenzo, Monti home over that time. What a fantastic apartment in the most enchanting part of the old city, perfectly situated to explore to your hearts content.
We are a family of 5 (3 kids) - 4 months, 7 & 15...so, when I book logistics and practicality is top of mind. Francesca's apartment really ticks that box. Even as a fourth floor apartment it was no issue as there was a lift that circumvented the need to climb up and down the stairs. Being so central were able to easily walk (and push the pram) everywhere and explore the delights of Milano from the Sempione Parc to Santa Maria delle Grazie all the way down to the Basilica San Lorenzo (the main Duomo) a must see - amazing.
The local neighborhood is full of character with restaurants, cafes, wine bars. deli's smattered up and down the street. There is even a Carrefour about 10min walk up the street if you want to buy stuff to eat in, or require a few home conveniences. The metro is also down the end of the street about 6 minute walk that connects you wherever you need to go and importantly you can catch the train to the airport from there (Cadorna Station) too. Easy Peasy!
Back to the apartment....loved the beds, and the extra towels and linen. The linen room was perfect to tuck away the little one in the cot provided, which was just perfect. Francesca, even had some extra goodies in the fridge as a welcome 'gift' - 6 bottles of water, juice, milk and two little bottles of Proseco among a few other things...what a great welcome. Those little touches go such a long way to making you feel so at home. I guess that's one reason why Francesca is a Superhost! Oh, and the communication prior to arriving starting days before, including the invaluable information that was shared through the airbnb app was fantastic and extremely helpful. Checkin was also a breeze and super efficient with Ezio (Francesca's friend - onsite contact) . I could go on and on, but I think you get the drift.
Truly a wonderful stay, and super value. Five stars all the way.
Thank you Francesca and Ezio. Bellisimo!!
