The apartment is in a quiet, residential area -- just 1 block away from a metro stop that can quickly loop you into the heart of Milan. The apartment was clean and spacious and had everything we needed.
Check-in was trying. It was unclear whether the person who met us with the keys was Alessa or someone else. Regardless, it was hard to find her. When we got into the apartment I was put on the phone with an English-speaker who asked me to pay (in cash) for some kind of tax. I refused, because I believe this is against AirBnb policy. This whole initial exchange left a sour taste in my mouth.
