The apartment interior looks exactly as pictured. The space is spacious, clean and refined with functioning toilets, showers, sinks, etc. I was particularly impressed with the shower, for its size, the water pressure and temperature control, which all left positive impressions despite the fact that Italian showers usually prove to be quite hard to use.
The only thing that underwhelmed me about the stay, was the attitude of the host and the location. The apartment is located in a small street parallel to Via Moscova, one of the most iconic and well-reputed streets in Milan. Hence merely in terms of location, the area was great. The only thing that is not written in the description is that the apartment is located at a dead end of a narrow street behind a large construction site. Though it is a safe area, for girls living alone, it seems a bit sketchy to walk out at night and the view outside was certainly not pleasing.
The room is located underground and for that reason, you find a lot of ants and mosquitoes in the room. The service by the host Andrea, was not the most helpful when it came to assisting guests with the ridding process of mosquitoes. If you check into a hotel room filled with mosquitoes, the hotel will surely provide another room or some tools to repel them. Here, they tell you to deal with it on your own by sending you a link to a repellent you can find at the supermarket. This may be normal, but in such a way the host did not go above and beyond.
Overall, If you’re considering a 1 week stay, this apartment is the one for you. A month or more? I would avoid, as the kitchen and bathroom both lack the necessities like cutting boards, toilet cleaners, that you’ll be needing over the course of your long term stay.
