Guest Reviews
- Norbert (5/5): - The property does not respond to correspondence. An invoice has not been issued despite several requests.
- Lidia (10/5): Fuimos a la media maratón de Milán y nos dejaron utilizar el baño después de la carrera. El casero se portó de 10 con no - El alojamiento era cómodo y limpio.
- francesca (7/5): - Ottima posizione....bellissimo appartamento Ci vorrebbe una macchinetta per il caffè 😀
- Evgenii (10/5): - Incredible locations and very easy to get keys
- stephanie (9/5): Bon emplacement calme et bel appartement - Emplacement confort
- Pandora (8/5): Brilliant host, great location and property was exactly what we needed - Extremely attentive host. The host sent multiple, detailed instructions and videos for how to find the keys and followed up to see if we had received the instructions and whether we had found the property upon entry. He was very communicative and helpful. Property was spacious and clean and well located. The only thing would be to have air conditioning in the property, or the ability to open the top windows (as the bottom doors/windows open out on the street so we didn’t want to open them).
- stephanie (9/5): Appartement sympa et fonctionnel a proximité immédiate des canaux mais calme - Bien pensé
Fonctionnel
Non loin des canaux mais sans le bruit
- Monika (9/5): Bardzo udany czterodniowy pobyt - Dobra komunikacyjnie lokalizacja i ciekawa okolica, dobra restauracja pod sąsiedzku, bezproblemowe zameldowanie i wymeldowanie, duże i wygodne łóżko, czysto i świeżo Brak okien, możliwość otwarcia tylko drzwi wejściowych, trochę słabo wyposażona kuchnia np. tylko 1 widelec na wyposażeniu.

- Rahmi (8/5): - The location, the staff was really attentive. Easy check in easy check out.
- Sandra (1/5): Dopo una notte siamo scappati ... esperienza pessima! - Nulla Davvero sconsigliato a qualsiasi prezzo (come tutti i loft su strada di via Magolfa)
• Check-in tramite lock box (pratica illegale in Italia)
• Una sola chiave e porte senza maniglia per entrare, rischio reale di sicurezza di rimanere chiusi dentro!
• Nessuna finestra apribile: impossibile arieggiare l’ambiente
• Illuminazione pessima: assenza di luci e commodini da letto, luci troppo forti e fastidiose
• TV in posizione inutilizzabile, lontana dal divano
• Pulizia appena accettabile: trovati pezzi di vetro in bagno, doccia senza appoggio per sapone/shampoo
• Letto senza coprimaterasso, cuscini di qualità molto bassa, scarsa igiene
• Dotazioni cucina molto scarse
• Arredi di bassissima qualità e poco funzionali
• Property manager assente, nessun supporto ne rimborso per le notti non usufruite
- Sherjeel mustafa (6/5): - The apartment was good clean and close to the city The air conditioning was only downstairs and in summer very difficult to sleep upstairs without air conditioning. There were alot of mosquitoes in the apartment.
- Eugeniusz (8/5): Jak to w Mediolanie - fajnie - Pomieszczenie klimatyzowane Trzebabylo do 9.30 opuścić obiekt
- Joanna (8/5): Obsługa bardzo się starała - Lokalizacja i przestrzenność Wymaga remontu i wymycia grilla w kuchni
- Laura (6/5): Wouldn’t come back here but if you’re staying for a few nights and plan to mostly be out, it’s fine. - The check in was very easy and clear, location was amazing, bed was very comfortable and there were two closets so a lot of storage. Bathroom was okay, not so cosy, wifi was also very good. The blinds in all flat, especially on entrance were kind of see through, which was not very pleasant because the property is on the street where many people walk past it. Equipment in the kitchen was terrible. There was no teapot, very bad condition pan, only two cups and one glass, few forks, one little spoon and more knives. The freezer door was kind of broken so it wouldn’t close. There were more things broken, one of the bedside tables, drawers in the bathroom, a few plates.. There were two air conditioners but they were very weak so it was very hot to sleep. All these things made the apartment uncomfortable and not very cosy.

- Alessio (9/5): Tutto perfetto - Ottima posizione, arredata in modo efficiente, letti e cuscini comodi . Spazi generosi per una famiglia di 3 persone. Il sabato sera zona un po’ rumorosa.
- Andrea Leigh (6/5): Room for improvement - The location is absolutely amazing a very short beautiful walk and you are in the center.
If you are staying for one night for work and do not plan to cook, the apartment may be sufficient. However, for the price point and based on my frequent stays in Milan (at least once a week), I expected a higher level of basic essentials and service. The apartment offers only the bare minimum. There was no soap, shampoo, dishwasher detergent, coffee, oil, salt, or sugar, and not even wine glasses—which felt unusual given we are in Italy. We purchased coffee ourselves, but unfortunately the moka was broken. I informed the host, but received no reply. There was also no response to our request for a baby bed.
Additionally, check-in was not available until 4:00 PM, and although I requested an earlier check-in, I received no communication. Check-out was at 9:30 AM, which is unusually early for Milan where check-outs are typically between 10:00 and 11:00 AM.
Under normal circumstances I travel alone, but this time I was with my husband and three children, which made the lack of essentials and communication particularly challenging. It would not take much to significantly improve the experience—simple amenities and responsive hosting would make a big difference.
Unfortunately, it felt as though the host prioritizes the location rather than the quality of the stay or guest experience.
- valentina (10/5): - letto molto comodo, divano letto un po' meno.
Molto grande e bellissimo bagno.
Lo consiglio NULLA
- Claudia (10/5): -
- gar (10/5): - Είναι ακριβώς όπως το βλέπεις στις φωτογραφίες και πολύ καλύτερο έλαμπε από καθαριότητα,λίγα μέτρα από το κανάλι και όλα τα καταστήματα,το μετρό porta Genova στα 300 μέτρα και ο ιδιοκτήτης πολύ εξυπηρετικός μας άφησε να κάνουμε check in 2 ώρες νωρίτερα
- Karlo (9/5): - A lot of open space, close to public transport and equiped with everything you’ll need for a few day stay. Welcoming and very helpful host - Oscar. Would reccommend! Seethrough broken metal curtain covering the front door near the street wasn’t giving full privacy.
- Pawelec (10/5): -
- Ana Belen (8/5): - La ubicación
Mucho q ver x la zona
Buena atención Por decir algo un poco fria
- Louvel (10/5): -
- luca71 (8/5): Gita a Milano - Buona posizione, check-in e check-out, fermata abbastanza comoda
- Marie-louise (7/5): Bon séjour - Appartement spacieux .Bon emplacement pour les restaurants de Navigli Manque de vaisselle cafetière ou théière pour se faire un petit déjeuner . Stores des portes un peu défectueuses
- Loic (9/5): - Emplacement idéal à 2 pas du quartier Navigli, quartier très vivant le soir avec une multitude de restaurants. Logement spacieux et bien agencé. Propreté correcte. Hôte très réactif. Nous recommandons!!!
- Gomes (8/5): With everything you need to spend several days, good location for touristing, and Mr. Oscar's attention very good, I -
- Pavic (10/5): -
- Laura (8/5): Tolle Woche, gern wieder! - Die Unterkunft entspricht den Bildern und ist ordentlich eingerichtet. Die Lage ist perfekt, im Viertel fühlt man sich sicher und die Vermieter sind großartig. Wir konnten früh einchecken und als unsere Spülmaschine nicht anging wurde uns sofort geholfen.
Anfangs unheimlich war, dass man die Stimmen vom Restaurant gegenüber recht laut hört. Außerdem kann man nur über die Haustür lüften, weil die anderen Fenster nicht aufgehen, weshalb in der Zeit von außen in die Wohnung geguckt werden kann. Mich hat das nicht weiter gestört und die Unterkunft ist Preis-Leistung technisch trotzdem ideal. Das Lüften über die Haustür und die Geräuschkulisse waren anfangs gewöhnungsbedürftig.
- Tamara (10/5): -
- Quintana Hurtado (9/5): -
- Victor (8/5): Very good -
- Adelya (10/5): Exceptional - We really liked the apartment! There are very clean, furniture is great. They give 1 face towel and 1 big towel for each person. The location is great, it is 20-25 mins walk from Duomo. There are metro in 10mins away from apartment. When we arrived, there was no bedsheets for the 3rd person, we wrote to the owner and they sent a boy in 5 mins with all bedsheets🥰 service is great. The boy, I don’t know his name, but he’s so nice! He brought bedsheets and didn’t let us make our bed, he did everything by hisself! 😊 I liked it, please give him promotion! 🙏🏻 The place is safe, there are a lot of people walking and going out, going to restaurant in these streets, nothing dangerous. Hot water, the shower and bathroom are great. My point is 10/10
- Elizabeth (7/5): Good - Everything was clean, good location, a lot of space Neighbours were very loud, restaurants also nearby which can generate crowds and noise
- Sava (6/5): Good location at Navigli - The location was great, nearby the Navigli area.
The place is huge, you will have a lot of space. The flat is relatively bright.
The host is responsive and tries best to help.
Beds are comfy, and so are pillows The internet did not work, and we needed it early in the morning and late in the evening. The hosts "work" 9-17h, so we could not meet them to get our internet fixed, which led to higher costs for us. I must say, they wanted to come while we were outside to fix the internet (although, I think, there was nothing to do physically with the router, but they had to call the internet provider), but we asked them not to.
The apartment is on the ground floor. However, the area is full of shady people we did not feel fully safe, but it was alright. Especially the first night, as soon as we left for dinner, some guy was passing nearby and watching inside our windows. Be very careful with your belongings if you come here.
The host also asks to separate waste/recycle + wash the dishes before leaving (LOL)... you don't feel like you've come for a vacation, but like you have to work for your stay (although you already paid a lot of money).
The place is clean, but you can see that rather cheap furniture is used. Not really a nice feeling while you're inside.
Floor is cold - don't forget slippers like we did!
- Christian (9/5): Superb -
- Sultana (1/5): Apartment full of mold, extremely hot, very humid - Location was great, close to canal Apartment full of mold!!
Entire place smelled like urine for 4 days.
- Elpida (2/5): We don’t recommend it -
- Michele (1/5): Terrible - Location No utensils. Dirty . Shower door didn’t close , landlord didn’t reply when whatsapped !!!!!!
- Baiba (6/5): Spacious, nice neighborhood, but lacks privacy (ground floor, poor blinds) - Location is ok, feels safe, restaurants and cafes around, studio is spacious, host was great The studio is on the ground floor and feels more like commercial space not apartment. The blinds are see-through and are not enough for the massive glass facade and front door. Even though the neighborhood looks more or less safe, staying a this see-through studio feels a bit weird. Maybe its better just for 2 people, then you can sleep in the upper part where there is a dividing wall. We couldn't find cutlery (no spoons, knives or forks) even though there is a stove, pans and even an Italian coffee maker. Maybe we just couldnt find them.
- Roubini (3/5): Bad - It was spacious and kinda close to the center For starters it was dirty the walls had marks all over and the glasses were also dirty. It had one roller paper for 4 days for 3 people …. And it was empty like the furniture were very minimal almost the bare minimum to live there. No cutlery no heat and when we asked for extra blankets since in Milan this time of the year it is cold and no heat is unacceptable as is they brought only one when we asked for 2!!! ( two beds 3 guests) also even though they communicated with us on the spot the person was not helpful and kinda rude as he/she wasn’t from
Milan and couldn’t help us.
- Iulia (8/5): Nice apartment, located in a beautiful neighborhood - The bed and pillow were very comfy and the apartment looks great in reality. The check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow and the host was very attentive. We clearly heard all the noise from outside (people walking by and talking). During the weekend, people gathered in the small park facing the apartment and they were making a lot of noise, which made it hard for us to fall asleep. The room was quite cold (as outside was cold as well) and the 2 fan coil units did not manage to heat up the apartment. Luckily we did not stay indoors for too long.
- Marco (7/5): Good -
- Katarina (7/5): Good -
- Mazhena (8/5): Fair for the price in this location. Just change few small things and could be perfect - Location was perfect. In the heart of Navigli and in same time very peaceful There was no daily routine staff as sponge, broom, paper towels, dish etc. Sleeping in the loft flour wasn’t very comfortable - there is no fresh air
- Olga (4/5): Definitely don’t recommend - It was super dirty, although the owner “sweared” it was cleaned. There were dirty pans in the drawers, hair knots the floors, dust, very dirty bathroom.
- Cedric (10/5): Exceptional -
- Glen (10/5): My experience with this apartment has been truly delightful. The moment I stepped inside, I was im - My experience with this apartment has been truly delightful.
The moment I stepped inside, I was impressed by its cleanliness and modern design.
The open layout and large windows filled the space with natural light, making it feel inviting and spacious. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the appliances were in excellent condition, making cooking a breeze. The bedroom was comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless.
The location is convenient, with shops and restaurants within walking distance. The property management was responsive and attentive to any needs or concerns. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable and stylish living space.
- Erkut (9/5): Superb - The location is great, very close to the canal. The host was very helpful. There was no coffee or tea in the flat. Would have been nice to provide them for hospitality.
- Laura (10/5): Exceptional - It's in a quiet place, however canals are just 3 minutes away by walking. Place is spacious and has all appliances that you might need. Bed has a softer side and harder side (good mattress!) Weekends can be louder, however if you like night life it's also perfect place to be.
- Gintare (9/5): Calm location with walking distance from restaurants and bars. Comfy bed! - Nice spot for a short stay. It was very tidy and clean. Can’t complain! I realised only after that all the walls have windows and its on the ground floor so if you prefer privacy having curtains open leaves you right on the street. We spent most time outdoors so it wasn't an issue, however it’s something to keep in mind if you like daylight and want to stay in.
- Andresa (6/5): Pleasant -
- Fumiya (7/5): Good - good location
- Nila (9/5): Superb -
- Lana (8/5): Nice for short stay at Navigli channels - The location was amazing, 2 min walk from Navigli channels and 20 min by tram to Duomo
Self check in is simple
Communication with the owner via whatsapp was fast and friendly
I could check in at 3 pm by asking them. The apartment was ready and it was perfect timing for me. Thanks I stayed 3 nights and the first one the air conditioning wasn’t working. The next morning the owner came and fixed it. Thanks for it.
Just keep in mind that the first floor where the bed is will still be hotter then the kitchen with a sofa. Better not staying there in July or August or you may try and ask to turn it on before you come. Who knows, the owner might be nice and do it for you.
Check in too late and check out too early.
- Lauren (8/5): Amazing apartment - Location is amazing right next to the canals of Navigli. The apartment was clean and perfect for our 3 night stay, excellent value for money, Thank you!
- Russell (7/5): Good - Location Cold , no atmoshere , steril
- Esztella (7/5): Good - Great location, very nice, modern new flat. comfortable for two people. Communication with the host could be improved.
It wasn’t clear how to use facilities in the apartment such as dishwasher. Apartment is a bit noisy as it is next to a street so if you are looking for a calm place I don’t recommend.
- Teemu (9/5): Superb - Pleasant apartment with a short walking distance from the city center. Public transport stops close by and easy to access if you don't feel like walking. Some noise coming from the street but not enough to bother. Lacked some utensils which was a surprise at first. They were easy enough to get from the close by stores though.
- Liyi (8/5): Very good -
- Raimondas (5/5): Passable -
- Blerina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Guido (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jamie (9/5): Via magolfa - Large comfy bed
Apartment was very clean
Good location There was no bin for Any rubbish
Also no cutlery
- Slavica (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nestor (10/5): Exceptional - Spacous
- Eva (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robin (7/5): Good - Location was great, close enough to the metro, lots of cafes and restaurants nearby but in a quiete street with little traffic...very clean.. Bizzare thing was the wasn't a single knife or fork or bottle opener in the kitchen...everything else needed to prepare a simple Keal was there...but if you bought some bread and cheese and a bottle of wine there is nothing to cut with and no opener...very strange...and no rubbish bin either..
- Nadine (8/5): Very good -
- Sara (7/5): Good -
- Silia (5/5): This apartment is in a great location and has good bones, but host has done nothing to make it welcoming. There was one -
- Lorena (6/5): Pleasant for money. Excellent safe location but no Ac/TV. - Excellent access to property (just a lockbox
& code )
Excellent location <10 min walk from navigli canals / bars bus/tram/metro stops
25 min total journey to duomo cathedral No air conditioning. Two fans provided did not work and was extremely humid in the apartment. Tv also had no remote or connection so unuseable.
Messaged hosts via booking.com and no response throughout 4 day stay.
- Tiberiu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yelyzaveta (5/5): Overall cleaning improvement needed - - The location is cute but is close to a creepy area.
- The apartment itself is bright (even tho you cannot open the curtains if you desire some privacy)
- The wifi was good, if you are working remotely it's a great option. - The cleaning was not done at all. The bathroom, especially, was filthy: dirty walls, and a lot of hair on the floor. The overall cleaning was not sufficient. (If you have a 6 hours gap due to a check out at 9 and check in at 16, it looks more than enough to at least wipe the floor)
-The air conditioning was either not working, or simply not enough. It was difficult sleeping on the second floor due to the temperature.
-The entrance is quite dirty and covered with dead plants. Removing them would have been a great option.
- During the checkout it's asked to leave the tourist tax in cash in the apartment, why is it not possible to include it in the initial payment?
