We were in between a month long vacation across Italy and Greece, We spend 2 weeks in hotels across the county and a week on a cruise. This was our first AirBnb stay, and the main reason we booked AirBnB instead of a hotel was because we needed the Extra space after the cruise.
Location: There is not much to do near the apartment, we had a rental car so we used it as a base to explore areas in and around Milan. There is a SuperStore near the apartment which we loved and used often.
Host: Rossella was great, she give us good tips for shopping and areas to visit around Milan. Check-in and Check-out was a breeze. When we checked in, we requested her to provide us with an extra table fan (we have two kids, and each one had to have their own fan) which she very graciously arranged.
Apartment: The apartment was not luxurious, but was cozy and comfortable. It became home to us the very next day. We cooked breakfast every morning, the apartment had all the utensils and basic ingredients for our breakfast.
When we first moved in, we were apprehensive that there was no air conditioning in the rooms, there was a small a/c in the living room which Rossella said was enough to cool the whole apartment if we left it on long enough. Surprisingly that one a/c was enough even during the heat wave of June 2017 (the extra table fans helped)
Tips: We loved our trip to Splash & Spa which is about an hour away in Switzerland. The Spa there is heavenly and the kids loved the indoor water park. (Your car should have a Switzerland sticker, otherwise you have to pay Euro40 at the border, we did not have the sticker and paid the 40 Euro, but it was still worth it.)
