Guest Reviews

• Gabdullin (10/5): - The apartment is very close to the central railway station and located right inside a beautiful park. The surroundings are amazing and very peaceful. The apartment has everything needed for a comfortable stay. We really enjoyed our time there and liked everything!

• julie (8/5): Agréable - J'ai adoré mon séjour à Milan. L'appartement est proche de deux stations de métro qui mènent au centre et il se trouve à 10-15 minutes à pied de la gare centrale, ce qui est pratique pour visiter d'autres villes. Il y a également une autre gare juste à côté du logement, mais elle ne dessert pas toutes les destinations. Le logement est situé le long d'un parc, ce qui rend l'endroit calme et agréable, loin de l'agitation de la ville. Il était propre et spacieux, et équipé de volets. Pour accéder à la clé, il faut cependant avoir accès au Wi-Fi ou à la 4G, car cela se fait par téléphone. Nous avons reçu un code à entrer sur le boîtier qui ouvrait la porte de la cour de l'immeuble. Ensuite, nous avions un deuxième code pour accéder au boîtier contenant la clé. Bien que j'aie lu dans les commentaires que certaines personnes avaient rencontré des complications, nous n'avons eu aucun problème. Le quartier est calme et sûr, et je m'y suis sentie à l'aise. Il y a des boulangeries toutes proches pour le matin, ainsi que des restaurants, donc il n'est pas nécessaire de se rendre systématiquement au centre. L'appartement était propre et la cuisine bien équipée. Si je devais suggérer une petite amélioration, ce serait d'ajouter des verres à vin et de refaire les joints de la salle de bain.
• Spas (4/5): Nothing like the photos -in the pictures it looks spacious and cozy. Irl it was mildly dissapointi… - The good things were the location and the host.Overall the place is not that bad and i was thinking whether to write the review or not but we felt lied because you expect something and get another thing which is absolutely dissapointing. There were so many small things that ruined our comfort. 1. It’s really hard to get in and find the place. 2.In the apartment It smells strongly of gas (which is understandable because there is ,,hidden’’ wardrobe in the living room full of gas bottles i thing for the water heating but still felt unsafe and sometimes the smell was throwing us off) 3. The heating didn’t work for the first two days — it was freezing cold. We had to use two small heaters, but we couldn’t even plug them both in because the plugs didn’t fit the sockets. We only used one in one of the rooms, since we had just one small extension cord that worked. 4.When we opened the fridge on the arrival,the door of the frizer fell and was broken and the frizer was FULL with ice(could not use it) 5. The bathroom has no ventilation 6. It’s always dark, and you can’t open the windows because everyone outside can see you because the apartment is on the same level as the street. 7. The table is about to fall apart, the chairs are dirty, and one of them has its cover peeled off. 8. The bathroom has mold, doesn’t match the photos, the shower is old, very small — if you’re a woman, it’s almost impossible to take a proper shower without wetting your hair. There’s nowhere to put your soap or shampoo. 9. After the heating was finally fixed, it became extremely hot and couldn’t be adjusted. So after freezing for the first two days, we were boiling the next two, and only during the last two days was the temperature normal. 10. The TV is old and you can’t play anything on it. 11. When we asked if we could turn on the air conditioners for heating during the first days (when we were freezing and couldn’t even take a shower), we were told they’re locked and only used in summer. 12. The plates were scratched and worn out, and nothing felt clean. 13. Outside there’s a construction site and a bar — every morning glass bottles are thrown away, which wakes you up every single time, along with the loud construction noise. 14.The bed looks completely different from the pictures.
• Maria Lucia (8/5): -
• Kyoko (8/5): 自宅のように落ち着ける場所。 - 場所が良い。スタッフのいないエアビーで、Booking.comのメッセージ経由でどのように入るのか前日連絡が入る。 今回はリノベーション中で工事の音が朝からうるさかった。
• Myra (10/5): Great, comfortable apartment in an excellent location - The location is perfect! Beautiful neighborhood and close to public transportation. The apartment is lovely with everything you need! The host was very helpful as well. Highly recommended.
• Jörgen (7/5): - Relativt god kommunikation med värden. Tydlig instruktion för att låsa upp dörrar till lägenheten. Fin och bra utrustad lägenhet! Mycket hundskall och motorljud från parken utanför, till framåt 23 på kvällen. Det drog ned betyget på läget, vilket annars var utmärkt. Lite fler än två kaffekapslar totalt för två nätter hade varit bra.
• Rebecca (9/5): -
• Duru (1/5): Bad -
• Matija (9/5): Superb - Location is great, you have everything that you need while youre on vacation, close to the metro and the wifi is amazing. Would recommend Fridge is hard to open, the shower is too small, no hand held shower head which is disappointing and the hairdryer is literally melting and its too heated.
• Marta (7/5): Good apartment but could be improved to be more comfy for the guests - First of all, the location is incredible! It is super safe, which is sooo important when it comes to Milano. There are a lot of supermarkets nearby, Bosco Verticale is literally right outside the window, along with Unicredit Tower. Porta Nuova Shopping District is right across the apartment, as well as the "flee market". There's also a great deal of restaurants around. Metro stations like Gioia, Isola, Zara and Porta Garibaldi are walking distance away. The apartment itself is HUGE, bright, clean and well organized. It's heated exclusively with floor heating which is perfect. The apartment is fully and excellently equipped with everything a person might need. We came across a few problems, ones are small, other are quite big and troublesome. First of all - THE SHOWER. It is literally men's shower. There's no hose or faucet. Only fixed shower head at the top. You either have to bend like crazy to avoid getting your hair wet or just go with it and wash your hair with every single shower. It's extremely inconvenient if you're a girl. Secondly, there should be an instruction video for the door lock. We had so many difficulties with it, we could've stayed locked out the entire night if we didn't find the video on YouTube. We sent the emergency message to the owner, but they only responded im the morning with the new code, not even bothered to ask if we succeeded to enter the apartment last night. Thirdly, there was something obviously wrong with the floor heater, since it was heating the place up like crazy, and we couldn't adjust the temp. Then, on a fourth day, it broke. Didn't work at all, it was freezing! Both times, the owner asked for a thermometer picture, instead of just sending the repairman. The repairman came on a fifth day and "fixed" it so "well", that we had to turn portable space heater on (we found those in the closet) and after an hour the power went out completely! The ower told us to go to the electrical room in the basement of the yard and just flip all the switches. First of all, that basement is creepy as hell, we were beyond scared to go down. Second, there were too many doors down there and the owner said "you'll find it easy". And lastly, we are NOT electricians! We shouldn't be doing that! We're not fixing any electricity problem in our own homes, let alone here! What if we did that, and got hurt? At the end, we had to demand for someone to come and fix the issue.
• Enas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Katalin (9/5): Superb - Excellent location, easy to get to all the great places in Milan. Lovely ice cream shop next door! We loved our stay at Luvi - De Castilla! Comfortable, well equipped, absolute worth the money.
• Želnys (9/5): Great place to spend a few night in milan - The location was really good and the apartment was cozy. There was some construction from early in the morning so there was noise that kept me up at night. Another thing is when travelling in autumn when the evenings are moody you might find yourself watching tv in the evening, but the TV in the apartment is quite old and doesn't have youtube/netflix, which kind of makes it pointless for someone not italian.
• Olivia (9/5): Superb - Facilities where great, very nicely decorated. Lovely private space
• Kyoko (8/5): Pleasant stay in Milan - Good location - cute place and clean Difficult to enter - took 10 min to figure it out to get in. Even though I pressed open, the main door didn’t open. There was no fork / knife (cutlery) so I couldn’t eat fruits which required cutting.
• Yuliya (9/5): Quiet stay close to the city center - The property was in a good location close to many metro and bus options. There was a grocery store and shopping near by. There was a nice park and bars around. Everything was good
• Anna (10/5): Cosy and stylish house in cool neighbourhood - Very cool,comfortable,stylish and unique small house in a vibrant and iconic area. Everyone I told was jealous of my accomodation! I really enjoyed staying there,it feels very cosy and but big enough for 1-2 (max 3 I would say) people to stay for a couple of days,bed is very comfy,living room is beautiful,kitchen modern and functional,bathroom modern and new. Check in with online system needed some time to understand but then it's super convenient,no need to bring a key,communication with owner was pleasant and helpful. Location is very cool and convenient,with the park,modern shops,iconic buildings and restaurants just around the corner. Metro is close as well and train station in walking distance. Nothing really negative for me,if you are very sensitive to noise the restaurant which shares the same compound might be an issue but for me it wasn't,terasse also isn't open too long in the evening. Not sure if it might get hot in high summer as opening the windows completely on one side is difficult as it opens directly to the park. Rubbish from the restaurant in the courtyard could maybe get a bit smelly and isn't beautiful,would be nicer if stored away.
• Todor (8/5): Very good - Incredible location! You’ve never had such a view from your window.
• Rozaina (5/5): Overall is good - Location is good & property is very nice design. We were terribly bitten by bed bugs & have to get medication for it.
• Nikolova (9/5): Superb - The location is perfect, the neighbourhood as well. There's a bar just next to the apartment and it's a bit noisy until 11,12 pm at night. Also in the morning the bar staff cleans the bar and it's again too noisy early in the morning because you hear the glass bottles that the throw away into the trash bin.
• Christine (9/5): Cosy apartment in cute area, perfect for a short stay - The apartment looks exactly like the pictures, which is always a plus. It was fairly easy to find and access, close to public transportation and the apartment was clean and comfortable. The location/area was a very nice and easily accessible point of departure for exploring and getting around. Plenty of options for food, groceries, cafes etc within walking distance. Communication with the host was fast and super friendly. Would stay here again. The apartment is located on the ground floor so daylight can be a bit less - not a negative for me, but good to know in case that's important to you.
• Giulio (8/5): Very good - Amazing house in the Garibaldi/Isola area, at the crossings of several modern buildings. Very modern and nicely organised, a perfect place to enjoy Milan with your own privacy. The house entrance system, with a website etc is a bit cumbersome. I would stick to something simpler. Moreover, I got an electrical fault that turned off some of the sockets in the house (including internet and therefore the electric locks), and nobody came to fix it despite I notified it.
• Yevhen (6/5): Pleasant - Apartment situated in really great neighborhood. You have a beautiful park just behind it. Apartment has some issues, but in general looks good. Automatic system to access home is good, but you need internet to make it work. To check-in, after you paid for apartment, host will send you a link to external website. There you need to fill form with personal info for all visitors, give passport photocopy and pay addittionaly tourist tax. No link to term and conditions, you need to search them by yourself on the website. Terms and conditions are not describing how your personal data will be used. It says it ''used to provide service''. When asked host for early check-in, host didn't respond at all. I would understand if he just said no. There is no air conditioners in apartment. Only two fans that look like air conditioners, as you can't choose neither hot nor cold, only fan.
• Beatrice (4/5): Overpriced tired apartment. Great potential but needs some work - Location, proximity to parks and local restaurants, comfortable mattress. The apartment is very tired and the kitchen and bathroom areas are in need of a deep cleaning (especially the shower). Basic items that you would expect to have like paper towels, dish washer and coffee were not provided (we had 2 coffee pods for 3 adults for a 2 night stay). I reached out to the property manager but ended up buying it myself because I didn’t get a prompt answer or the offer of providing it. $400 for my stay was definitely too much for what I got.
• Madelen (10/5): Very happy. If I was unsure of anything I could send a text and get an answer the same minute -
• Fabian (2/5): Very bad - Wry good position and close to metro lines Dirty, nothing like the pictures There is a terrace in the same yard and because of that a lot of noise, very hard to sleep You cannot adjust the heat
• Andra-roxana (8/5): Wonderful stay! Totally recommend! - Great location, great apartment, very helpful host! It was very cold when we arrived but the host helped us with some electric heaters the next day and then everything was great!
• Jiang (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hung (8/5): Very good -
• Kyle (7/5): Good - Cute location right next to the park and gelato right next door, cute little house Difficult to coordinate entry and Bluetooth codes didn’t work. Can’t check in early at all
• Ej (8/5): Very good -
• Anonymous (10/5): Just great! - It was pretty clean, comfortable and well equipped. The place was pretty nice and the location was great!
• Marta (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maria (10/5): The host answered the only question we had , very promptly. we will return many times. - It is amazing to stay in a place with the old Italian “flavor” in the middle of a modern neighborhood . Walking around the Pier Ouldolf design park becomes an everyday experience the minute you leave the apartment. Every path a different view and experience. Since the Metro is very close by we could go anywhere very quickly. The apartment itself is very nicely decorated, with a modern feel, has everything we needed and very clean.
• Alex (7/5): Good - It was a nice place. In a perfect location. We liked our stay and I can encourage others to stay there. But we arrived with just two toilet rolls (We were there for the week) and our water wasn’t hot. And we had to wait 2 days in to getting proper help with WhatsApp. We actually never got a final reply when I asked “If this correct” - but it was a nice place. Absolutely. I just wish the communication was stronger. We also got locked outside and wasn’t told about the key on the bench. We waited outside for a bit until someone else went into the courtyard for us to get in. And the support on WhatsApp didn’t reply until the next day. Communication needs to be stronger. We would have otherwise been stuck outside.
• Diana (9/5): Superb - The location is very convenient and the host is responsive and attentive. I had a slight problem on the first night and it was addressed very swiftly.
• Louis (7/5): Good -
• Gustavo (7/5): Superb location, fast internet, but letdown with air conditioning and basic amenities - The location of the house is spectacular. It is a few steps from 3 transport lines, close to supermarket, shops and in a very beautiful park. Very fast internet. Air conditioning doesn't work, it just makes noise. We caught the end of summer and luckily we didn't face any very hot day. The bath towels are of poor quality (small, worn and only two). The apartment did not offer routine basics which are very cheap and you don't want to buy them in the middle of a trip. I'm referring to cleaning cloths, detergent, sponge, products to clean the sink / table... We had to waste time buying laundry soap, and these are items you can't buy in small quantities.
• Claus (7/5): Good location at a fair orice - Great location and spacious with all the amenities you need Noisy neighbours being restaurant and bars.
• Katerina (8/5): A nice little place - Location was great, in a really cosy and safe area. The outdoor courtyard was a lovely bonus and the apartment was very clean. The host was easy to contact and helped us at check in. The apartment is not within walking distance of the city centre but there were Metro stops and a train station nearby. Big enough for 4 people. There were a few things missing such as toilet paper and soap, which I mentioned to the host. The bathroom door was very broken and not very safe, we broke some nails trying to get out of the bathroom, which was disappointing.
