We loved our stay in Filberto’s apartment! It’s only a two minute walk from Milano Centrale, two minutes from a supermarket (Carrefour Express) and five minutes from an Aldi, if you prefer it!
There were lots of places to eat within an acceptable walking distance and the Metro is of course right outside the station if you want to go anywhere else. The Duomo is two stops but you can walk there pretty quickly too.
The check-in was easy and flawless. You don’t need to use the lift if you don’t want to - there are stairs. The apartment itself was nice and clean, although we did find the odd hair or two (but we checked in earlier so maybe we rushed the cleaner!). Contrary to what others have said, the shower was brilliant - we always showered in the evening and had no issues with hot water running out.
There were decent facilities in the room, like a fridge, hairdryer, fan, air-con (not the best but it made a difference), and even a cooker.
The only let-down was the Wi-Fi, which was sometimes fine, but more often very bad for anything more than loading a webpage or two. Anything media based just endlessly buffered.
Most people have mentioned the trams so I will as well. They were extremely loud, to the point you can’t hear the person next to you and they run almost all night. Ear plugs block it all out though and I wouldn’t mark the apartment down for it because there’s nothing that can be done to stop it!
Other than that, everything was great. Filberto was in touch a few times to check everything was ok and was easy to contact via AirBnB. Check out was also extremely simple.
We’d definitely stay here again.
Thanks, Filberto.
