An absolutely fabulous apartment with a very kind and generous host. I spent a week here in July with my family (four people).
Paolo's apartment is her home. It exudes much love, care and her Milanese elegance. I feel grateful that she chooses to share her space with folks visiting Milan- in the true spirit of AirBnB! The apartment is very spacious with beautiful large window-doors opening to balconies in nearly every room and is very well equipped throughout. Paola was so generous in leaving us with many breakfast items, a fridge stocked with bottle water, laundry detergent, bathroom essentials and more. It was clear she wanted us to feel right at home and comfortable.
The location is really one of the best in Milan. Very central, yet protected from the tourist crowds and trappings. Lots of good restaurants, supermarkets all around and every other type of store you can imagine. Many places to get an evening aperitivo!
It is close to every important form of Milan transportation: Linate airport is only 15 minutes away and the metro and trams that take you to most of Milan's main attractions (and the main train station) are either at your doorstep or a block or two away. We loved to walk straight to the Duomo from the apartment.
The only downside is that the apartment is NOT equipped with air conditioning THROUGHOUT the house. And the two rooms that have it (one bedroom and the lounge), are not particularly able to cool the remaining two thirds of the house. Given the exceptionally high heat we experienced in July (35+ degrees most days), we suffered the heat a lot and it was sometimes hard to return to the apartment on not be able to cool down.
Having said that, I truly hope to return to this apartment on my next visit and enjoy it even more in the Spring or Fall.
Grazie di tutto, Paola!
