The location is great within walking distance to main sightseeing spots, very easy and safe access from train/metro.
Make sure you are clear on your check-in time “window”. When I booked the apt I asked about check-in, I was told “we will be waiting for you at the apartment.” Great! So coming from California, I stated my best estimate of arrival was 8 pm, later I said it would most likely be between 8:30-9 pm (I try to be as accurate as I can with schedules). When I arrived at MXP and set to depart on train at 7 pm realizing my arrival would be closer to 8pm, I messaged Maria to let her know, but to my surprise she said we had “scheduled” 8:30-9 pm check-in time and check-in would not be possible any sooner. When I said I didn’t understand my estimate to be a confirmation of check-in time especially since I had initially stated 8 pm and she communicated the check-in process was for someone to be waiting at the apt she responded that this could not be interpreted to mean “waiting all day long at the apartment” - I never said it was. She did arrive a bit early at 8:20, but I sat outside the stoop with my bags for 20 minutes. Had I known about check-in scheduling, I definitely would not have given myself a 30 minute check-in window and wish Maria had been more clear. That was the whole purpose of asking in advance. After 16+ hours of travel the last thing you want to do is wait outside for your host.
The apartment itself is nice (open concept layout just as pictured). Great that apartment had an elevator as there are quite a few stairs. The couch could use some updating as it was worn and not very clean. The bath towels were very lovely, bed comfortable. The fridge had an odd smell to it. Note that there is a laundry machine, but you have to connect the water hose to the toilet if you want to use it (I did not have a need for it). I did not use the kitchen for cooking.
