This was a new listing so there were no reviews when I booked this place. I took the risk because 1. the location 2. AC 3. Spacious shower(you can easily find an Italian apartment with tiny showers) and 4. budget. But I do regret taking that risk as there are a lot of things that can improve.
I’ll start off with the good things:
- Location was really great. There were 2 subway lines available, 1 & 2. Both 10 min walk away. 4 stops away from Duomo, 7 stops away from Centrale and 20 min walk to Navigli.
- Neighborhood was very quiet and safe. Not a ton of options but we found a really nice restaurant, and cafe/bars in the area.
- AC worked well.
- Nice terrace area for a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night.
- Spacious bathroom.
- Nespresso machine.
However,
- Kitchen was not for cooking. The pan was absolutely disgusting, no knives, and no cooking utensils. I stayed here for 6 weeks and the fact that they couldn’t provide basic cooking tools was surprising. We had to buy our own pan and knife. But didn’t feel like buying a spatula so had to flip my eggs with a fork..Ended up eating out almost every night.
- No hair dryer. Even though the listing said they had one. So I asked the host and the answer was simply they didn’t have one. Didn’t feel like arguing so again, we bought one. (We left it there so you’re welcome)
- It was very hard to get the right temperature for the shower.
- Bed wasn’t that comfortable.
If you’re not into cooking and looking for a short stay, this place wasn’t too bad. But for longer stays, I gave you all the details and so I’ll leave it to you to decide.
