After using Airbnb for years I can confidently say this was my best Airbnb experience ever. If I could leave more than 5 stars I would.
The apartment is even nicer than photographed, it is dreamy and gives you the romance of Italy. The balcony with the view of the Rotunda della Besana is amazing to wake up to each morning. The kitchen is small but I was still able to cook anything I wanted and it came stocked with food in the fridge and pantry!! There’s so much storage and the living room and bathroom is huge.
Valeria was an incredible host who goes over and above to make your time comfortable. any issue or question I had, she responded immediately and usually could fix it right away. She thought of every little detail, including stocking things I’ve never seen in an Airbnb and definitely needed: a first aid kit, sewing kit, multiple hair dryers, even Christmas decorations (I was there over Christmas), bath robes and an umbrella! Not to mention a portable wifi hotspot which I needed since my phone had issues getting international data.
The apartment is only slightly chilly if you are used to blasting heat in the winter but nothing a cozy sweater couldn’t solve. It is impeccably clean and if you have a long term stay there’s regular cleaning. It really felt like a great hotel experience.
The location is an easy 20 min walk to the Duomo and has many lively restaurants and bars and shops nearby. I honestly loved Porta Romana a lot. It felt like home.
I honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough. It will always be my home in Milano whenever I must return. Book it now, thank me later. :)
