"The location is very convenient, near the central train station, just a 10-minute walk away. The apartment is in an upscale area; I arrived at the apartment around midnight on both my first and last nights without encountering any danger on the way. There are three iron gates to enter the building, which made me feel very safe! Check-in and check-out were completely self-service, very convenient. The common areas have a microwave, refrigerator, and tableware, making it easy to prepare simple meals. The room and bathroom were very clean, and they even provided shower gel and shampoo. Although there were no towels (the host said they would be provided later), I was very comfortable and satisfied with my stay!"

Scarlatti Hotel Milano ★★★★
"Great hotel, and we even got an upgrade. However, there were no toothbrushes, slippers, or a kettle in the room. It's very close to the train station and local amenities. It's a 10-minute tram ride to the Duomo, there are plenty of great cafes nearby, and an excellent supermarket is just a stone's throw from the hotel."

Glam Milano ★★★★
"The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic. It's right across the street from the main train station, and having a subway entrance downstairs made getting around incredibly convenient. There are also tons of dining options nearby. I stayed for three nights, and the convenience of getting around was a huge plus. I booked a balcony room, and the view was great, plus the room was spotless. The service was also very good. My only real complaint is that the in-room facilities and amenities were quite inconvenient. I could overlook not having a kettle or coffee maker (though room service could bring a kettle if needed), but there weren't even any regular drinking glasses – only two small mouthwash cups on the sink. For a triple room, there was only one stool... Overall, it's a great spot with good hygiene and a nice view; just don't expect much else from the amenities."

Lovely Mordern Milan ★★★
"Hi ! Me and my friend stayed for 2 nights in this room and we really appreciated our stay and managed to enjoy Milano so much ! The location was perfect (near the tram and subway) and our host was super nice. The bedroom was ideal for two friends, a couple or solo travelers with a large bed and AC. The bathroom was big with a shower and a bidet and we were the only ones using it. Thank you so much Sam for your hospitality and your kindness !"
