One Flat/studio,Busto Arsizio[Center,with terrace]

Central location Cleanliness Very quiet at night (faces a courtyard)

The apartment looks better in the photos than it does in reality. The host forgot to pay for the WiFi connection and so for two and half hours after I checked in there was no WiFi. Luckily the host has another apartment on the same floor and his friend was checking in guests so I alerted him to the problem. Around ten minutes after speaking to him the connection went back on. His friend pretended the reason was the router had to be turned off and on again which wasn't true as I tried that a couple of times and no internet company in Italy takes a 2.5 hour technical recess during peak hours on Sunday. I asked to check out at 13:00 instead of 12:00. The host refused (apartment is small. It doesn't't need 4 hours to be cleaned. Even 1 or at most 1.5 hour is sufficient). I asked if it was possible to leave two suitcases until 13:00 and that was also refused (there are 5 large plastic recycling bins inside the apartment. If two were taken out to the balcony for one hour my suitcases would fit there perfectly. I felt the host is not a customer orientated person which is why I cancelled my second booking for june as the air conditioner inside the apartment is at least 30 years old and probably noisy and non-effective.

I love that city! And the location. And the view. And the positive vibes, excellent WiFi and hearty attitude

If you are not familiar with winter Italy - tiled floors stone walls no central heating 24/7 and, in most cases, no heated towel rack in the bathroom - you better be prepared. Key parts are flippers on THICK basement plus warm socks, then pijama, and to ask turn on heating at low level well before your arrival. Earplugs are always useful when you go for studio and/or AC heated apartments
