Our stay in Milan was very pleasant. The location is very convenient; there are shops, restaurants, bars, and sights all within a close walk! Additionally, the apartment was very modern, had a very equipped kitchen, and an easy to use coffee maker (with good coffee). However, the highlight of this apartment is the balcony. It is quite large, has a nice umbrella, and there are a bunch of plants which really make the place feel homey. Another really nice feature were the blackout shutters. There is a whole wall of windows on 1 side of the apartment and the balcony on the other (I.e. a lot of light), but the electrically controller shutters actually block out all of this light which made sleeping in a little a wonderful experience. Lastly, the apartment is on the 4th floor, but there is an elevator which takes you to the apartment. There is a small spiral staircase you have to walk up to get to the apartment once inside, but overall it is easy to get to considering you don’t have to walk up the 4 flights! Additionally, I felt like this apartment was very secure. The main building it is located in has a locked door, there is then another locked door to get into the specific tower of the building, then there is another lock to get into the apartment entry, and lastly there is a lock on the door which actually goes to the apartment. I’ve never felt so safe before!
My only real complaint is that the AC unit really didn’t cool off the apartment as much as I would have liked. It was bearable, but a little uncomfortable at times. We also happened to lose power the morning before we left (around 8:30 or so) which made getting ready extremely difficult (remember the electrically controlled blackout shutters? Well, they make the apartment pitch black and you cannot manually open them :) ). Unfortunately, no one was home to assist us and by the time the host responded we had already gotten our stuff together and left (we had to use the flashlight on our phones).
Even with the small mishaps I would still stay here again!
