The apartment is brand new and in an impeccable condition. The pictures are totally representative of this spacious studio. It has a nice interior with a lot of haptic materials and harmonic colours which makes it relaxing and cosy. Despite being located on a ground floor the apartment is very light. The temperature stays chilly and for the colder days there is a heater which is simple to use.
Situated in a beautiful inner courtyard and being quiet, it is perfect to come to after a long day of strolling around. The two gates bring a feeling of security. All the needed amenities are close by with plenty of pasticcerias, restaurants, Esselunga, little boutiques and a local food and clothes market two days a week.
Very well located with an easy access to public transport. The city center can be reached with a metro (S.Agostino, the green line) or a tram or even just by foot (a 30-minute walk to Duomo). Malpensa Airport easily reached by metro (to Cadorna) and train. There are several parks around, Mudec museum and it is in walking distance from the canals and nightlife of Navigli. However, Zona Tortona/Solari is very cute in itself and worth exploring!
A great kitchen for both those who enjoy cooking and who like to visit the nearby cafes and restaurants. It has a lot of work surface, and it is well-equipped for a comfortable and carefree stay with a dishwasher, oven, microwave, espresso machine, moka pot and all the necessary kitchenware even for a more demanding cook.
The host is very caring leaving all the essentials for the beginning (breakfast for the start, coffee/tea, enough paper, cleaning equipment etc.). Being very responsive and taking care of any requests, the host is always available and willing to help with anything one might need from some advice to extra cleaning stuff one will get in no time. The communication is easy, smooth and with humour. The check-in/out times were also adjusted to my needs.
This was my first stay in Milan and the kind-hearted host made me feel at home with a warm Italian welcome. I cannot recommend Claudia’s place highly enough for anyone looking to visit Milan for a shorter or longer period, it fits any demanding taste. I will definitely look forward to staying at Claudia’s again if it will still be available after the feedback :)
