Overall I had a very pleasant stay of almost 3 weeks in Milica’s loft. I made the reservation relatively late and wanted to stay in the San Niccolò neighbourhood. Milica’s loft was one of the few viable choices for me.
The location is perfect. I greatly enjoyed the artsy neighbourhood. Most sights are within walking distance or a bus ride away. The premise is in an old building and tastefully decorated by the host Milica, who is super nice. She helped me to get my three suitcases up to her 2nd floor apartment, and took time to show me around the neighbourhood and her atelier.
I’d like to point out a few minor things hopefully helpful to you.
- There is no TV. Not a problem for me but some people may find it wanting.
- There is no exhaustion fan in the kitchen. I probably would have cooked more if there were one. I didn’t like the idea of sleeping in the smell of pasta ….
- There is no elevator. There is an automated chair which I used to move luggage. It is not fail-proof. I couldn’t get my largest suitcase on top of the device and had to carry it down four flights of stairs.
- The apartment is about 25 minutes away on foot from the Santa Maria Novella station. At night, buses are not as reliable and the taxi queue can be long. If you plan to use the train station frequently, this might not be the most convenient location for you.
