Guest Reviews

• AnitaSz Nitka (7/5): Dobra lokalizacja i wygodne łóżka, ale brak klimatyzacji jest dużym problemem - Apartament znajduje się bardzo blisko dworca centralnego, co jest dużym plusem przy zwiedzaniu Mediolanu i dalszych podróżach. Sama kamienica jest bardzo ładna i zadbana, mimo że dojście do niej prowadzi przez mniej atrakcyjną okolicę. Apartament jest przestronny, ma dwie sypialnie, wygodne łóżka oraz dobrej jakości pościel i ręczniki. Kuchnia jest dobrze wyposażona. Ogólnie było dość czysto. Największym minusem jest zdecydowanie brak klimatyzacji. W apartamencie znajduje się tylko jeden mały wiatrak, co przy włoskim klimacie i wysokich temperaturach jest bardzo uciążliwe. Byliśmy pod koniec maja, kiedy temperatura dochodziła do około 35 stopni, i spanie w nocy w dusznym apartamencie było naprawdę trudne. Moim zdaniem gospodarz powinien rozważyć montaż klimatyzacji albo chociaż przenośnego klimatyzatora, ponieważ we Włoszech brak klimatyzacji jest dużym problemem. Apartament wymaga też odświeżenia. Ściany są miejscami brudne, umywalka jest pęknięta, w drzwiach jest dziura, a między dorobionym pokojem a sypialnią znajduje się otwór w ścianie. Jedna z sypialni nie ma okna, co również może być niewygodne. W szafach i na półkach przydałoby się dokładniejsze sprzątanie przed przyjazdem kolejnych gości, ponieważ było tam trochę kurzu. Warto też wiedzieć, że zameldowanie odbywa się online, podobnie jak płatność podatku miejskiego. Drzwi wejściowe otwiera się przez link, więc jeśli ktoś nie ma internetu albo nie otrzyma wiadomości od gospodarza w czasie podróży, może mieć problem z wejściem do apartamentu.
• Chiara (8/5): Comoda y facil - La ubicación es ideal, muy cerca de la estación central y con buenas comunicación con el resto de la ciudad. La casa es linda, comoda y tiene todo lo que se necesita. El anfitrión ha sido rápido en contestar y amable en explicarnos como entrar al piso.

• Vivette (8/5): Agréable séjour à Milan - Proximité du logement avec la gare. Proche tramway et métro pour se déplacer sans problème dans Milan
• Andreea (3/5): -
• Carlos Anibal (10/5): -
• SOHUI (8/5): - great location nice and big house
• Beining (6/5): No volvería la verdad - Entrada con clave Es que en realidad esta bastante lejos de centro y cuesta siempre mas de 20 euros el taxi, la ida y vuelta son mas de 40 euros El dueño no habla ingles, como llegué a las 14 le llame para saber si se puede entrar antes y se enfadó y todo, me ha asustado, ademas como solo habla italiano es casi imposible hablar con el
• Sanna (9/5): Kaunis asunto hyvällä sijainnilla - Kaunis ja viihtyisä asunto rauhallisella ja sijainnilla lähellä Milano Centrale rautatieasemaa. Erittäin ystävällinen palvelu.
• Suzanne (6/5): Good location for station and Metro/needs some TLC - Good communication from the owner and early check in much appreciated! Good price point, great for train station and only 10 minutes on the Metro into the centre of Milan. Remote entry control very clever! Not very clean throughout, cracked sink in bathroom and hole in bedroom door. Odd hole cut out between bedrooms - presumably to let some light in? Very thin net curtain in bedroom - not proper curtains. Shower was cold after only 2 showers - not fun when there's 3 of you! Lumpy pillows.
• Rasa (10/5): - Labai patogi lokacija: šalia centrinė Milano stotis, taip pat netoli metro, tramvajaus stotelės. Taip pat ir pėsčiomis iki Duomo katedros apie 35 minutes.
• mariam (7/5): -
• Marcella (10/5): - Muito aconchegante e fácil de fazer o check-in. O apartamento é lindo! Nada a dizer, foi perfeito
• MargaritaAdvis (7/5): - El departamento es cómodo y relativamente bien ubicado. La lavadora no funcionó, tema lamentable porque justamente reservamos con estas características porque necesitábamos lavar ropa para seguir viajando. Yo le avisé de este desperfecto al encargado, pero se tardó mucho en responder y no podíamos esperarlo ya que iban a ser pocas las horas en Milán. . La comunicación con el encargado fue poco fluida, no quiso darme su número de teléfono cuando se lo pedí, e incluso respondió con sarcasmo ante algunas preguntas. Dependes al 100% de Internet y batería en tu telefono para hacer el ingreso a las dependencias, y la única forma de pagar la tasa turística es teniendo una cuenta de PayPal y de eso te enteras el dia anterior a tu llegada. Yo no tenía activa la cuenta PayPal y para hacerlo necesitaba tener línea teléfónica (para viajar sólo contraté roaming de datos). Tuve que activar el roaming en mi celular y me costó un ojo de la cara. No los voy a recomendar a mis amigos viajeros.

• Tatiana (9/5): - Близко от центрального вокзала, чисто Подушки очень неудобные, бойлера еле хватило на троих девушек, в конце уже прохладная вода была.
• Fabricio (9/5): -
• friedbert (6/5): - Lage. Quadratische Öffnung 1m mal 1m zwischen den Schlafzimmerm. Dadurch fehlende Privatsphäre. Komplizierter Check In.
• Camilla (10/5): -
• ariana (2/5): It was not what we anticipated - Location to centrale station was good It was not what we expected; it has potential though. Just a bit of attention and it would have made all the difference.

• Jolanta (5/5): na jedną noc było w porządku, czysto. - Lokalizacja dla mnie korzystna bo blisko dworca dziura w ścianie w jednej z sypialni, ale chyba będzie tam cos w stawione.

• l (8/5): -
• Juan Carlos (9/5): Estancia en el centro de Milán - La ubicación es excelente cerca de la liena roja y verde de Milán tienes acceso a toda la ciudad. Se puede comprar facilmente y hay un mercadillo en la plaza (un poco ruidoso). Cerca hay restaurantes y tiendas de todo tipo. Con la ola de calor encontré a faltar el aire acondicionado, los ventiladores no eran suficiente y el acondicionador portatil no enfriaba. Encontre a faltar utensilios de limpieza (escoba, cubo, etc)
• Anastasia (8/5): -
• Elvira (7/5): - Struttura carina e vicina alla stazione. Siamo arrivate alle 23 e siamo andate via alle 6. I riscaldamenti erano spenti faceva freddissimo.
• Renan (6/5): Decepcionante - Localização Imóvel sujo, utensílios de cozinha avariados, banheiro mofado, porta quebrada. É um bom imóvel, bem localizado, mas parece abandonado.
• Paolo Lucas (10/5): Recommended - The accommodation has an excellent location, especially for those arriving by or using Milan's central train station. The bed was very comfortable, and the place was easy to access. The apartment is well equipped with everything needed for a pleasant stay, including all the essentials if you plan to cook. I would definitely recommend it. Nothing to say here
• De Biaggio (9/5): -
• Ildo (9/5): - Próximo a estação central
• Daniel (9/5): totol a fost OK - Locatia, Marimea apartamentului, cum se face accesul Afost cam racoare noaptea
• Maria Paola (8/5): -
• Claudia (7/5): -
• Sevdelina (10/5): -
• Antonio Constantin (5/5): Not really a good choice overall - The only good thing about it was the location, because its located near milano centrale Smell of tabacco, dirty shower, very dirty apartment overall, the towels smelled like vinegar even the bed sheets. Overall i dont recommend.
• Trenomarcus (8/5): - Bell'appartamento in zona perfetta a Milano, a meno di 10 minuti da Centrale. Bel soggiorno con cucina e televisione, bagno ok e stanza principale spaziosa. Checkin indipendente e rapido. La stanza piccola un po' troppo piccola, collegata da una finestrella a quella principale.
• LORELLA CRISTINA (6/5): - We arrived after midnight after a long day travelling so it would have been nice to have some coffee or water available on arrival as we had nothing with us.
• Maria Trenti (9/5): -
• Vladimir (10/5): - Хорошая, уютная квартира. Удобная транспортная доступность. Всё понравилось
• João (8/5): -
• claudiu1919 (5/5): - Position close by Metro The rating on booking is way too high for the location. The door to the small bedroom was broken, there is no privacy between the bedrooms even though they are separate, there is no window to close...there is a big gap above. Some money should be invested in the bathroom, the sink is cracked, the chrome shower holder is broken...etc. It is far from a 8 rating location on booking
• BORRACCINO (9/5): Appartamento luminoso - Posizione stabile Il sistema apertura portone e porta ingresso, avrei preferito tastiera
• Juliia (10/5): - Внимательный и отзывчивый хозяин, оперативно решал все вопросы. В апартаментах есть все необходимое, теплый пол в ванной, все для приготовления еды в наличии.
• Sevasti-Anna (10/5): -
• Jenny (8/5): - Die Lage war super und die Unterkunft sehr sauber und gemütlich :) Das grosse Schlafzimmer war sehr schön hergerichtet. Zwischen den Schlafzimmern gibt es oben in der Wand eine Öffnung, durch die man miteinander sprechen kann. Die Öffnung dient quasi als Fensterersatz des kleinen Zimmers.
• Benjamim (8/5): -
• Vane.dopico (8/5): Buena ubicación - La ubicación,muy cerca de la Estación Central
• Norma (9/5): - El departamento muy cómodo y silencioso. Fácil moverse con la metro y a pie. Buena cama, buen baño. Muy amable el dueño, dispuesto a resolver todas mis dudas. Estuvo todo muy bien, sólo para mejorar la experiencia se podría agregar algunos elementos de cortesía en la cocina, como servilletas y repasadores. Por lo demás excelente
• Schneider-Rohde (8/5): Sehr zu empfehlen! -
• Hans-Werner (9/5): - Nah am Bahnhof, gute Zimmerausstattung Dusche leider nur lauwarm, obwohl sonst heißes Wasser verfügbar. Handtücher zum Trocknen von Geschirr fehlt. Öffnung der Türen für Haus und Wohnung etwas umständlich, da nur automatisch über Mobiltelefon möglich.
• Warren (7/5): -
• Gladiola (8/5): - Las camas eran muy cómodas y tiene lo indispensable para pasar unos días. La ubicación es muy buena hay supermecados cerca y farmacias. Faltan algunos detalles como paños o servilletas, escoba, fregona, una alfombra para la ducha o dejar alguna que otra toalla más para ese uso.
• Nicolle (10/5): - A 10 minutos de la estación central. Muy limpio todo. Cómodo y excelente gusto en la decoración
• Sher (8/5): -
• Thiyagarajan (8/5): Pretty decent place for a couple - Good location and size of the apartment we're really good No exhaust in the bathroom. Wardrobes were inconvenient.
• Caroline (10/5): Great place to explore Milan from. - Central location. Had everything we needed.
• Xiangnong (8/5): -
• Thandi (8/5): -
• Вероника (9/5): Удобная и чистая квартира. Понятная инструкция по заселению. - Локация недалеко от вокзала. То, что нам было нужно на 1 ночь.
• Diudiun (9/5): - Good location - near the Central station but quiet. Both beds were comfortable. The apartment is spacious. It would be nice to have a couple of capsules for the coffee machine.
• Mario (7/5): - All check in on line Very hard to find parking
• Marie-Christine (10/5): - Accès aux clés un peu stressant pour des personnes non habituées au numérique. Mais très bon accompagnement par messagerie.
• Jo (9/5): Great location near the central station - Lovely apartment block in a great location. Easy to get from the airport (Linate) and a 10 min walk to the central station. Very nice apartment and the area is very quiet. Small bed was very small and the large double bed was a bit uncomfortable.
• Vesna (9/5): - the apartment is spacious, nicely decorated, in a great location, there are restaurants, cafes and a supermarket nearby, which is very useful... the train station is easy to reach on foot it would be nice to have a bottle of water in the fridge to welcome you on these warm days
• MARIA GABRIELA (9/5): - El departamento moderno, muy cómodo, cerca de la estación central. Todo limpio, camas cómodas, fácil acceso El termotanque chico, el agua caliente se agotaba rápido y terminabas de bañarte con agua fría
• Marta (5/5): Grande pero no cómodo. - Apartamento amplio. La zona no es la más segura de Milán. El apartamento no tenía climatización, solo ventiladores. Hacía muchísimo calor. Tuvimos que entrar y salir a través de un dispositivo del teléfono móvil. Baño incómodo. Vistas a un patio interior.
• maria eugenia (7/5): Calurosaaaaa - Ubicación No hay aire acondicionado , solo dos ventiladores y pequeños No pudimos hacer funcionar el lava ropas
• Rafal (9/5): -
• Marjorie (8/5): -
• Delphine (8/5): - L'emplacement de l'appartement, la conformité par rapport à l'annonce, le calme, le système d'accès autonome à l'appartement. Il faisait chaud et le système de climatisation était bruyant.
• Isabella (10/5): Very comfortable stay in a very convenient location - Very central and convenient location 10 minutes away from Milan Centrale. The apartment was spacious and very comfortable with air conditioning and fans provided. Check in was very easy and they let us check in an hour early. Highly recommend a stay in this accomodation. It appears the lock on the washing machine door is faulty so we were unable to use this amenity.
• Lattu (9/5): Superb - Nice locaton and there was enough space. Next to the Central train Station. Room and the house overall was clean.
• Su (8/5): Very good -
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - How big it was Nothing
• Leona (2/5): Not great. Tried to ask for somewhere to hold luggage for an hour and no one got back to me - Location was okay No air con it was so hot! Also had a kitchen but no fry pan or tea towel.
• Elena (6/5): Okish - Nice area. Big apartment. I liked the way I could open the entrance doors (via the app) On Saturday there was a market in front of the location and it smelled really bad when we passed by. There aren't enough mirrors. The biggest one is in the closet. It didn't seem very clean.
• Ma (7/5): Fair - 1. Location is near the metro station with stores along the way. 2. The iwner was very receptive and responsive to our queries. 1. There was no floor mats for the bathroom and kitchen. 2. There qas no hand towels in the kitchen. 3. There was no garbage bin in the bathroom.
• Bojana (1/5): Bad -
• Mairead (7/5): Pleasant - Fantastic location close to the station, with a strong Wi-Fi connection. The building itself is lovely, and the artwork on the walls adds a really nice touch. After a long journey, I was really looking forward to settling in with a cup of tea or coffee, but unfortunately there weren’t any sachets provided. It would’ve also been helpful to have a tea towel for drying the dishes.
• Philip (9/5): Superb -
• Vinetta (8/5): Good options for 2 people staying. - The location is good, close to the Milano Centrale and metro, everything is easy to reach, the apartment is spacious and pleasant. Overall everything was good except for the single bed in the separate room, it is very hard and uncomfortable, looks like a doctor's couch. For two people the apartment is ok, but the single bed is just terrible. The second aspect - the tourist tax, which must be paid before entering the apartment, for some reason it is only possible to pay via PayPal, it is not convenient.
• Benas (9/5): Superb - really nice place to stay. no need to meet anyone before coming in. everything is automated make sure you pay city tax in advance via the link provided as you are not able to enter the property without doing that (everything is written in the description). and the elevator in the building got stuck on our flor, it didn't look good in the first place
• Aj (7/5): Spacious & Central Apartment - overall good value - Great location & really nicely decorated & spacious apartment for a family, easy to navigate around central Milan & very close by public transport, and taxis. We really enjoyed pondering the paintings & the building is lovely, with a very cool lift, close by loads of restaurants, stores & buzzing Milan Central Station 😊 The downsides were: The fact that you can hear the neighbours very loud (as if they are standing in the next room without a wall between), not so cozy to wake up at 7am to dogs barking & people talking after a very late & lengthy flight, also the curtains are not light filtered so its very bright early.. There were dishes placed in the cabinet not cleaned (i guess the last guests did this and a slight oversight by the cleaners to miss it). The hot water service runs out fast for a family of 3 this happened after only 2 persons showered & had to wait a long time before it were warm again (approx 2 hours). Unfortunately the hot water outage happened really unexpectedly on our final morning making us late by 17mins on the agreed checkout time. This was met with a lot of anger by the host who sadly reduced to 'name calling' even after a sincere apology & quite thorough explanation of the situation. We left the apartment really anxious & stressed in a foreign country to us, this really ruined the final day in Milan for us as we felt really terrible after being abused for 17mins overtime. There is also a fee of 6.5€ per person, per night called a 'tourist tax', which is paid via a paypal link to a private person (this made us a little worried) this is a condition you must comply to in order to receive access to the keys/codes & something we didnt see in the listing when we booked, but later we did see a phrase in the confirmation email from booking.com that 'this property charges additional fees', with no more explanation. For us it was still ok value at 25€ approx for our 2 nights stay, however this could quite quickly become a problematic added expense should you stay longer &/or have more people. Probably good to consider it for larger groups &/or longer stays.
• Neofytos (6/5): Pleasant -
• Vanessa (7/5): Good -
• Federico (10/5): Amazing - The flat was amazing, the temperature was perfect, beds were comfortable and the bath was perfectly clean. Even this is a bad thing, I still recommend the apartment 100% The neighborhood is not a really nice place at night. We saw an environment full of drugs, alcohol and sex in our way from the train station to the apartment. During the day, it was a nice and quiet place.
• Kimberly (9/5): Overall good - The property is close to metro and bus stops. The rooms are okay and the kitchen is working okay. Privacy in rooms can be improved
• Mike (9/5): Superb -
• Jairo (8/5): Very good - Great location Cleanliness Decoration The two rooms are not well isolated. There is a hole between them
• Jill (5/5): Good for an overnight train transit stop - Location excellent - very close to station Complexity of access - total reliance on digital technology with no human welcome. Second bedroom requires repairs.
• Cvetanka (9/5): Amazing apartment, great choice to stay in Milan - The apartment is definitely more spacious than it looks on the pictures and that's a big plus, because from experience, usually it's the opposite. Location is perfect, with Milano Centrale being 10 min walk and other metro stations in 5-6 mins. The building is well-organised, quiet, and yes, the first time entering the building via link is a bit tricky but we've managed to enter smoothly right away. I'd recommend expanding on the description on how to enter the building / apartment a day before arriving, for example - that you have to open the main building door while the electronical lock is working, and the apartment door after the elec.lock has stopped buzzing. The area is lively but not too crowded and has everything you need for a start - supermarkets, coffee shops and bakeries (coffee is very affordable and tasty btw). Very good value for money if you stay 2-3 days. If you travel with friends have in mind that the adjusted separate room with one bed in it has a big hole on the plaster wall partition, planned to be a small window that would give natural light to the room. This hole is high above the bed, but looks in the bedroom. I assume this is still work in progress as owners had in mind to maximize the space and accommodate more people which is a great approach, but there's no privacy - if you need one. Also an electric jug would be useful to include, we did not see it - perfect for preparing some tea in the morning or a quick instant coffee. Other than this, everything was nice and decent.
• Armen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Edwina (5/5): Way too expensive, very noisy, no a/c or fan, stifling hot, glad we only had one (sleepless) night. - Close to central station for early train. Check in via automated system on phone did work okay and there is fast wifi but otherwise this was ridiculously overpriced for a basic flat with no a/c or even a fan on a really noisy city street. This was by far the worst place I have stayed in Milan and by far the most expensive! The lack of a/c with no fan provided meant the apartment was stifling hot , impossible to sleep, and we could not leave the windows open because of the noise, shouts, fighting, etc into the small hours. Which was bad enough with the windows shut! Luckily we only had one night as we would not have stopped longer. We chose this as we had to get an early train but it was so expensive for such poor facilities we should have paid (not much) more for a decent hotel. Nothing to recommend at all.
• Simrett (10/5): great stay, would stay longer! - the decor of the apartment was lovely can be abit hard to get into the apartment building/apartment if you don’t have data, but we sorted it out in the end!
• Scott (10/5): Always enjoy Milan - Secure, close to Milano Centrale. Plenty of places for food Lift Cannot think of anything I did not like
