Guest Reviews

• Estela (7/5): Conveniente para pocos días - La ubicación y la cama muy cómoda. Muy lindo el edificio, antiguo y típico, bien cuidado. La cocina es muy pequeña y resulta incómoda para preparar una comida sencilla. El agua caliente dura poco y uno termina bañándose con agua fría.
• susan (6/5): - Convenient location Not easy to get entry etc instructions. Pre-stay communication fair but only when sought
• CRISTINA (7/5): - Posizione centrale in una zona vivace. Gentilezza e disponibilità della proprietaria.
• Joram II (6/5): - Localização. Falta de canais de TV/RÁDIO. Falta produtos de higiene pessoal (sabonete e shampoo).
• SandraJSP (9/5): Milano top - Posizione ottima e colazione al bar/pasticceria top, molto pulito e nuovo
• Petrova (8/5): -
• sabina (7/5): -
• VIR BELGRAND PUIG (8/5): Petit studio dans un quartier très sympa - Le studio est très bien situé, rue commerçante avec bars, restaurants et le métro. Quartier très chouette. Lit confortable. La salle de bain est vraiment minuscule, deux douches prises et plus d'eau chaude...une seule serviette de bain pour 2.
• NATALIIA (9/5): - Центр міста, поряд парк Зручна транспортна розв'язка Замок вхідних дверей працював не дуже зручно. Були зламані накладки на замку, вішалка для верхнього одягу, кран на кухні.
• Nuno (8/5): Very nice, but It’s mainly all about Diana. She was really very helpful for any kind of question. The apartment/room - Location Small, but cozy. The mattress could be better.
• Stella Maris (5/5): Aceptable - El desayuno incluido en una pasticceria, muy buena atencion y calidAceptablead El apartamento está deslucido, le falta mantenimiento. Se accede al 4to piso x ascensor pero luego hay una escalera de muchos escalones para llegar al departamento
• Ildikó (5/5): -
• Diana (10/5): Centralissimo e dotato di tutto - Ottima posizione. Diana molto gentile, veloce e disponibile con un sacco di consigli. Riscaldamento con aria condizionata molto silenziosa. Wi-Fi e Netflix. Nulla
• Ilaria (6/5): - La posizione comoda in zona Moscova, il condominio silenzioso, la proprietaria gentile, un affaccio ampio dal finestrone. È un monolocale, abbiamo alloggiato in due, manca il bidet ed essendoci lo scaldabagno piccolo, per fare la doccia dovevamo fare i turni, perché la quantità d'acqua calda bastava per una persona (che impiega un tempo normale a lavarsi), altrimenti doccia fredda! Basterebbe avvisare... Il riscaldamento è collocato accanto alla porta d'ingresso ed orientato verso la porta del bagno, praticamente non arrivava il calore nella zona notte, il frigo era rumoroso... Non possibilità di lasciare i bagagli oltre l'orario di check-out.
• Luca (10/5): Una garanzia che si conferma - Super-Centrale, ottima host. Brera è un quartiere fantastico. Sono tornato dopo circa un anno ed ho notato che hanno cambiato il condizionatore con un modello silenziosissimo e super-efficiente. Nulla
• Luca (10/5): -
• Velta (7/5): - Laba atrašanās vieta - tuvu sabiedriskajam transportam un apm.20 min. gājiena attālumā līdz katedrālei. Apkārt daudz kafejnīcu, Ļoti labi paskaidroja, kur atrodas šī nakstmītne un kā saņemt atslēgas. Ir pieejama neliela virtuve. Komfortabla gulta. Nedaudz nolietota, prasās neliels kosmētiskais remonts.
• Harriet (9/5): - Great location, small room but this was perfect for us for a few nights and we were out most of the time. Great value for the location. Host was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any queries.
• Simone (10/5): - Appartamento pulito, caldo, confortevole, silenzioso. Ottima posizione, 2 minuti a piedi da Corso Como.
• Ortuño (1/5): - La situación, calefacción y atención de la anfitriona. Nos recomendó restaurantes etc.. Apartamento en zona superior a la cuarta planta, como en zona de trasteros. Entrada oscura tétrica, fotos del apartamento engañosas. Suciedad en baño y paredes... no me gustó , nada recomendable.
• Viviana (8/5): Monolocale piccolino ma con tutto il necessario, proprietaria sempre disponibile e gentile. Posizion -
• RICARDO (5/5): Para solteiros acredito ser ótimo custo benefício - Limpeza Atendimento da anfitriã (fez valer a pena todo desconforto) nota 10 Escadas Barulho aquecedor Barulho exaustor banheiro
• Mary Joy (8/5): - Facilities are good Only 1 thing is the few black stain at the shower.
• Daniel (10/5): -
• Janaína (7/5): - A localização é perfeita. Perto de tudo. Local limpo e organizado. O chuveiro que a água esfria rápido e estava frio, então não tivemos um banho prazeroso. Quantidade de shampoo e sabonete para os dias que ficamos, foi insuficiente. Opte por se hospedar sem o café da manhã, pois o local oferece poucas opções.
• Maria Veronica (9/5): - La ubicación es excelente. Cerca a restaurantes, tiendas y centro comercial. Se puede caminar al Duomo y galerias. El cuarto es cómodo y tiene todo lo necesario.
• Susan (10/5): Thoroughly satisfied and enjoyable, great location! - The host was absolutely brilliant. All the assistance, direction and information she communicated to was very helpful and very much appreciated Bathroom was fine but could’ve done with a little more attention
• Fang (8/5): - Owner friendly and helpful
• Mette (5/5): Super sød vært. Aircondition larmede alt for meget, så fik ikke meget søvn de to dage vi var der. Men god beliggenhed - Beliggenhed Aircondition larmer sindsygt meget
• Juan Martin (8/5): -
• Jan (8/5): - Lokalizacja to największa zaleta. Zdalna opieka gospodarza była powyżej oczekiwan. Mały ciasny pokój przy bardzo hałaśliwej ulicy. Wyposażenie tylko dostateczne. Brak czajnika elektrycznego i dobrego noża. Ekspres do kawy wymaga regulacji.
• Matthias (10/5): Great - The location was great, just 10 minutes from the centre with Tram and a supermarket 2 minutes away. Bed was very comfy. The compressor in bathroom was loud.
• AIKATERINI (8/5): - Το κατάλυμα βρίσκεται αρκετά κεντρικά του μιλανου, η πρόσβαση στα μέσα μεταφοράς είναι αρκετά εύκολη, το δωμάτιο ήταν καθαρό με πλήρη εξοπλισμό, η οικοδέσποινα πολύ εξυπηρετική και ευγενική. Το μόνο που με χάλασε ελάχιστα ήταν ότι το δωμάτιο είναι κάπως μικρό.
• Betina (10/5): -
• Keith (7/5): Lovely location. - The location is terrific. I find Brera very congenial, and stay there whenever I have to take a plane from Malpensa. It feels very good on the street, and is presumably an elite part of Milano (which in turn is an elite location in Italy). The walk to the centre of the city (with the Duomo, La Scala, and Galleria Vittoria Emanuele II) is quite short and the Parco Sempione with the Sforza Castle is nearby . Attractive cafes. Apartment is genuinely attractive, but rather cramped (given the price, but I have lost touch with prices in Milan since Covid.)
• Claudia (9/5): Para repetir - Diana es muy amable y atenta. Nos dejó entrar con antelación al apartamento. Las instalaciones cómodas y la ubicación bastante buena. Nada, todo muy bien.
• Ida (8/5): Piccolo alloggio in zona elegante e ben servita dalla metro, ricca di ristoranti e negozi - Piccolo alloggio in zona elegante e ben servita dalla metro ,buona la colazione Manca il bidet
• Devon (8/5): Cosy and very compact. - Location is excellent. Walking distance from many city highlights. Was smaller than we expected, and an electric kettle would have been great to make a cup of tea. Kitchenette is tiny. Online checkin with passport photos etc should be done at least a day before arrival not when you arrive as wifi is difficult in that location on the street, when you're weary and hot you just want a smooth process. Diana was really helpful though.
• Nikki (9/5): Superb -
• Ian (9/5): Superb - Host was very friendly and helpful. Apartment was neat and had everything we needed. During Europes heatwave, the apartment was very hot, even with an aircon.
• Adrian (8/5): Very good -
• Renate (5/5): Passable -
• Brendan (6/5): Not for us. - If you’re a couple travelling light for 1-2 nights then you might consider this apartment. It is safe & secure. Bed is comfortable. Breakfast at the family run patisserie down the street was good. Location is good. The property doesn’t live up to the online photos or written description. It is tired. The kitchen isn’t functional. Difficult access to cupboards. On arrival the city taxes were 36e, on departure 50e !!
• Robert (8/5): Pleasant stay in a busy city ! - Great location , clean & comfortable, very helpful host
• Kirstie (9/5): Value for money stay in Milan - The property was in a good location, a short walk to the centre. The apartment block was secure and quiet. The place itself had everything you need… tv, coffee machine, sink, cutlery, hob, fridge, shower, air con etc. Lovely Juliet balcony. We didn’t manage to try the free breakfast. The host was very helpful and always on hand to help. Overall great value for money. The apartment is small and compact but still enough space for two, and great value for money.
• Paul (9/5): The apartment was great for our trip - location was great - Very close to subway and access to main train station. Local restaurants and cafes excellent- safe location. Flight of stairs after the lift was difficult with our luggage-,
• Kristoffer (9/5): Superb -
• Paul (9/5): Superb -
• Pauline (7/5): Could be better - Locality to metro good so easy to get around. Plenty of local places to eat and drink in local area. Easy walk into Milan Centre. Host was helpful with tips to visit and allowed us to stay a little longer on day of departure due to bad weather. Apartment very small and rather tired. .The aircon was really noisy - couldn't leave on for any length of time) There wasn't a kettle to boil water so had to use small stove (took forever to boil), Only enough hot water for one of us to shower as water went cold during second one. The shower as others had pointed out was in need of a good clean which I had queried on email but from previous remarks. The whole place could do with updating. I had queried some points due to other remarks made and was advised could cancel but at such a late stage this would of meant a great rise in expenses but was hoping as I queried points things may of been attended to. Sadly I don't feel they were. It's a charming building but is very cramped and tired. Sorry I don't like leaving negative feedback rather use this as points to improve on..
• Christine (10/5): Excellent stay - The host was exceptional. Very friendly and easy to communicate. Also, our early arrival and late departure were very kindly accommodated. Cute flat in an active neighbourhood, and a great bakery across the street. Comfortable bed and lots of blankets if we were cold (we weren't). Thank you so much for a great stay! Nothing. Everything was perfect for us. Mind, there is a lift, but there are also extra stairs.
• Louise (10/5): Location ideal for the city and for gigs at Alcatraz. - Ideal space, the size of a hotel room, it was all we needed and handy to have a little fridge and space to cook if needed. We appreciated the simple breakfast down the street too. The owner was very receptive, always in contact if needed and we appreciated all the little tips that were shared too.
• Ian (8/5): Very good - A very comfortable and beautiful apartment with a nice view to the streets. The towels were a bit humid and there were red hairs on them.
• Michelle (8/5): Good quiet location with some great restaurants close by - Breakfast was down the road 30metres away, with a Cappuccino and Pastry and Fresh juice Shower needed a bit of scrub, but otherwise a good little property
• Fiona (9/5): Superb - We stayed at Diana's place for a long weekend and we recommend it ! The accomodation is very well located, it was easy to reach any touristic places without necessarily using the public transportations. The appartment was very similar to the pictures, there was all the useful furnitures, and the bed and the pillows were comfortable. Included in the price, you have a ticket per day for the breakfast in a bakery very close to the appartment. What we also appreciated is that as we arrived late, there was the possibility to do a self check-in: Diana sent us very detailed instructions to enter the appartment so it was super easy. Above all, the communication with Diana was very easy and she is reactive to the messages. Her messages were not limited to the instructions but she also sent a lot of recommendations to visit Milan and places where to eat! Nothing
• Glen (6/5): Overall the stay was good and lift wasn't owners fault. - Breakfast - had to go to a cafe down the street, We introduced ourselves to him the day before and he looked after us each day. Location was handy to trams. The lift was fine (unfortunately it broke down on day 2) and was not fixed the remaining time there and had to carry suitcases down four flights of stairs on last day.
• Bela (8/5): Very good -
• Valerie (7/5): Good - Very good location, great breakfast included Tiny apartment. Discrepancy over room tax, charged more than what was advised on booking.com. When queried this was advised the authorities would be made aware if we short paid.
• Corbin (8/5): Very good - Was a nice compact apartment located in a nice suburb, that was easily accessible with the owners instructions. The owner gave helpful tips for the area and the cafe down the road that served the croissant, juice and coffee was good. The local tax increased from 18 euros (as stated on booking.com) to 27 euros and we were required to pay in cash (not ideal as we needed to withdraw cash)
• Reimer (9/5): Superb -
• Alison (7/5): Nice location and atmosphere but a few drawbacks. - We loved the location and area around the apartment. Comfortable bed and nice light filled room, with view down to the street. Check in procedure was a little fraught although the host Diana was trying to be helpful. The apartment was a bit too small to make it comfortable and the kitchen wasn’t very inviting to use. The city tax seemed to keep increasing while we were there which was odd.
• Esra (8/5): Very good -
• Sarah (8/5): Good location, excellent host. - The host communicated very well and made sure we got situated all right. She even made some special accommodations on our behalf that were really helpful and much appreciated. The building has an elevator, but the apartment is one floor above where the elevator stops, so there are still stairs to take. It is mentioned, so perhaps an oversight on my end. But inconvenient for those with big, heavy luggage. The apartment is a bit narrow and there aren't any luggage benches, so it's a bit of a tight squeeze.
• Jordan (8/5): Very good -
• Rhian29 (8/5): Very good -
• Vasilisa (8/5): Very good - a very cozy flat in the city centre, great view, close to a lot of sights and museums. the host is very friendly and helpful there is no heating in the apartment, we switched the air conditioner on 30 degrees, but it was still very cold the internet is very slow, not suitable for calls or workation the cafe which provides breakfast is closed on Mondays
• Lina (8/5): Good location - Good location. The lift ends and then you have to climb steep steps to reach the rental.
• Alana (8/5): Very good -
• Sharon (10/5): Great time in Milan.Diana the host was very helpful with restaurants etc. - Very central. Great nightlife on the doorstep. N/A
• Darren (8/5): GreT stay in Milan and perfectly located - Location excellent Clean Owner very helpful Being in the 4th floor A little small
• Rachelle (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, lovely neighbourhood and very easy to get into the city centre. Host could not have been more helpful, amazing communication and would definitely use again
• Dale (9/5): Superb - Great location, great communication with our host, close to Metro and good restaurants! Highly recommend!
• Sam (8/5): Very good - It was well located & clean with quaint decor. The unit was very small but had all essentials. Shower did not close completely
• Karen (7/5): Clean and comfortable but very small. - Clean and comfortable. Too small and more stairs to go up after using the lift to the highest floor. Ideal for backpackers but not for anyone with large suitcases. One of the shower doors was missing which was strange.
• Adam (9/5): Superb -
• Deborah (7/5): Fantastic host, fabulous location - The host Diana is dedicated, caring and extremely helpful. Her communication from the time of booking up until and during our stay was fantastic. She provided great information and suggestions for our stay. The property is compact and has everything you need for a couple of nights in Milan. The location is fabulous , a great area, lots of eateries, shopping, and sightseeing close by. Transport options are also in close proximity. The air con was noisy - too loud for us on all settings. Being a small apartment it got stuffy and warm very quickly without the a/c. Secondly, I hate putting up anything negative given how wonderful the host was but we both felt that there could have been more attention to the cleaning of the apartment. Towels and bedding was perfectly fine but there were tell tale signs that the cleaning was not thorough.
• Valerie (10/5): Wonderful. Diana was very responsive and helpful with suggestions - Perfect location
• Alexis (7/5): Beautiful stay and lovely host, only thing was the air conditioning was very weak. - They air conditioning was very weak.
• Sarah (7/5): Good -
• Steven (7/5): Good property in great location but looking a little tired. - Cafe for breakfast was very good but shut on Mondays !! So no breakfast Monday. Door missing of shower. Air Con remote did not work so no control over unit. But there was air con.
• Veronika (9/5): Superb - Perfect value for that money, very nice, cosy and comfy apartment and host was just perfect and nice to us, always ready to answer our questions and very helpful all the time. Our aircon broke durring the night and the next day it was fixed.
• Olga (10/5): Exceptional - Good location near the city centre. A very cozy and clean room, self-checkin. Super-host Diana was always online to help. We had a very good time!
• Heidy (7/5): Good location, good breakfast - Good quality free breakfast , free luggage storage, good location Prefer whatsapp the copy of passports instead of filling out the internet form. Prefer get the door key directly from the cake shop owner.
• Marianne (7/5): Very small apartment in Brera - Location was good with restaurants and Metro close by. Also walking distance to most attractions. Host was good with communication and recommendations. Apartment was quite small. We didn't bother using kitchen as it was so small it wasn't worth it. Bed was very soft with little support. It was quite warm but the air conditioning was very noisy so we turned it off, but had to keep the one balcony door close due to traffic noise.
• Adum708 (10/5): Amazing stay - Host was incredible. Very helpful and accommodating. Ever worried about us when we were late. Thanks for all restaurant recommendations. Great location and comfy apartment too
• Evgeniya (10/5): Exceptional - Thank you Diana for the warm meeting. The room price includes breakfast in one of the cafes near the apartment. The room is located in a great area of the city
• Samantha (7/5): A great vibe and location - A fantastic location in a nice area. close to Moscova metro station. A kettle and microwave in the room would have been greatly appreciate more so than a hot plate.
• Patricia (9/5): we had a great stay in Milan and the apartment was quiet and warm after walking and sight seeing. - the apartment was great for 2 people. it is small but comfortable and with all essentials provided. the location is great because it is in a nice area but away from the crowds. sound proofing keeps the noise out whilst a big window let’s in natural light and a nice street view. restaurants and cafes and bars in the area are at normal prices as away from tourists. The area has a buzz metro station is close and really the Duomo is only 2 klm away. Some stairs but not bad Diana was very helpful and welcoming. unfortunately the lift broke on a last day so we had to manage a lot of stairs with our luggage. There was nothing really wrong with the apartment and Dianna was always will to help
• Chloe (10/5): nice apartment not far from train station to connect to anywhere - nice and compact
• Dean (10/5): Exceptional - I recently had the pleasure of staying at Una Volta in Brera during my Italy trip in January, and I must say it was an incredible experience. The location of this charming bed and breakfast in the heart of Milan's trendy Brera district is unbeatable. The room was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, with every detail thoughtfully considered. The comfortable bed, luxurious linens, and modern amenities made for a truly comfortable stay. The complimentary breakfast served each morning was delicious and a great way to start the day. What really made our stay at Una Volta in Brera special was the warm and welcoming hospitality of the owners. They went above and beyond to ensure that we had a wonderful stay and provided us with great recommendations for things to see and do in the city. Overall, I would highly recommend Una Volta in Brera to anyone visiting Milan. The location, accommodations, and hospitality were exceptional, and I can't wait to stay here again on my next visit to Milan.
• Juan (8/5): Very good -
• Vasileios (8/5): Very good - Nice location, friendly host. the air condition was problematic
• Rob (10/5): Perfectly situated, cosy and clean. Great host! - it’s a small apartment but perfect for a short break. light and airy, comfortable bed, plenty of plug points. Its also perfectly located with shops, bars and restaurants very close by. You can get a travel pass in the tabac just by the main entrance, so be sure to use the trams to get around. Host was also very good and gave us lots of advice on where to eat. I really can’t think of any negatives
• Spunge (9/5): Superb - It was nice coffee, croissant and juice for the breakfast at bakery close to apartment. It was nice, wide bed. Hostess was very helpful and pleasant. Nice, safe area.
• Daniele (7/5): No-frills option for staying in Brera - Good value-for-money for the Brera district - Lots of nearby eating and shopping options - Very friendly and helpful host Breakfast, served in a nearby bar, is very simple (croissant, coffee and orange juice). - Bathroom was not perfectly clean
• George (7/5): Good - Location is not far from centre. The heating is done with AC, which makes a lot of noise even if fan speed is set on low.
• Inbal (3/5): A nice host but a cold room - The room was nice with a kitchenette, and the host was very nice and helpful The AC hardly warmed up the room, it was pretty cold in the room for our entire stay and the AC had to be turned on for hours, before it was freezing.
• Eloise (10/5): Our host was fabulous, kind and made checking in easy, considering we can only speak English. - Loved this property. Perfect space for us to crash at while we enjoyed Milan.
• Katie (10/5): Very central location , about 25 minute walk from duomo, Excellent bars / restaurants near by - Helpful hosts , kept in contact & sent us restaurants etc near by !
• Isil (9/5): Superb - The location was 20 mins walk away to the central area. The apartment was quite nice amd modern. Mobile check in system was great. The host was really helpful and informative. I would definetely would stay at the same place next time 😊 I don't prefer the duvet covers the apartment has. But they are fine.
• Inga (10/5): Exceptional - Cute little apartment! Very nice host!! Loved our stay!
