We are a family of 6 ppl (4 adults , 2 small kids ) and this was our first ever experience staying at an airBNB . I contacted stefano with a lot of questions and he was very prompt in answering everyone of them . Stefano and Elena contacted me a couple of days before the trip and also were constantly in touch through WhatsApp.
Location : the apartment is located very close to Zara station . It’s about a ten minute walk ( we had a stroller to push , bags and also one year old to carry ). There s a 24/7 super market close to the apt . And lots of good restaurants .
We also found a good Sri Lankan restaurant and an Asian store just opposite our apartment , which was an added advantage to us . The apt is also close to the tram stop . There are lots of good cafes and gelato places close by . The location is ideal .
Apartment : we were very impressed with the apartment . There was a lift to get to the apartment . It had a lot of space for the 6 of us . There was a high chair for the baby and also lots of toys . The kitchen had all the basic necessities including bowls and spoons for the kids . The apartment had a fresh bottle of milk , water , cakes , jams , coffee powder ( different types), sugar . This was so convenient for us . There was a dish washer too.
All rooms had air conditioning . We also had a night lamp in each of the bed rooms (our kids are used to bed lamps). The bathroom had all necessities including fresh towels , shampoo , soap . Each bedroom opened to a small balcony with great views .
I also like that the building was completely secure . There were three locks to get to the house , this made us feel very safe . ( a suggestion for improvement will be maybe make the doors electronic with coded entry ? )
There was a washer and drying stand for the clothes . The view from the house was incredible .
Host : last but not the least , stefano and Elena are truly super hosts . They were constantly in touch through messages and replied to every query of mine . They allowed us an early check-in too. When we arrived at the apartment, stefano was waiting for us , he gave us a little tour of the house . He was very organized and had a folder with all recommendations for food and places to visit . There were detailed instructions on how to get to different places in milan .
Overall I was very impressed and would definitely recommend this place to my friends . Thank you for being such wonderful hosts .
