Luca's apartment was a dream. The design and layout was perfect for me traveling alone. The apartment is flooded with light, which is beautiful but can be harsh after a night out. So the shades are a godsend. I appreciated the coffee and ability to cook everyday. The market (which has everything) is a short walk away from the apartment. The metro line was also very close, which made getting around Milan very easy.
There were minor hitches like how the hose that's used to clean the bidet would leak when i used it to clean the toilet or bidet. Luca was unaware but was quick to respond sending help to take care of it.
I got in earlier than expected and Luca was kind enough to make sure I got inside and didn't have to wait out in the cold until check in time. He was also very sweet to check in on me New Year's eve with a bottle of Prosecco because he thought I would be alone at home on NYE and felt sorry for me... It was a very kind gesture on his part that I have never experienced with any other Air BnB I have ever rented. our followup conversations were slightly uncomfortable but I chalked it up to things getting lost in translation. Communicating across cultures can be tricky. Over all I had a wonderful time and fully enjoyed my time in this apartment.
