Although there were some complications on my end with checking in on time, Aliya showed great hospitality and checked me in an hour later than expected. She met me and my partner and showed us around the apartment complex, as it was completely gated off. The complex itself felt safe and secured. It was conveniently located near a metro station, about 10 minute walk, which made getting into the city centre a lot easier.
The flat itself was spacious and had basic amenities. However, it lacked cleanliness - stains on bathroom carpets, dirty kitchen sinks, stain on bedroom blanket (top blanket that wasn’t used). There were several ants spotted crawling around the kitchen and bathroom floor.
Being able to cook your own breakfast was a major plus, however plan to bring spices (only salt provided) and perhaps tea bags, as it wasn’t stocked as posted in one photo.
Our stay was short in Milan so a bed and roof over our heads was all that we needed. I would return to the city, but with another host as the value for money wasn’t quite there.
