Milan Apartment Rental

For our short trip to Milan, I came across our apartment rental on airbnb. The property manager Costanza was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her when we had questions both prior to our trip and on arrival.  

When we first walked into the apartment we were impressed with the size and the light and airy feel it had.  I am guessing the owner is an artist as there were paintings everywhere along with a canvas and easel in the hallway and many art books as you can see below. 

I loved the side table in the picture above. The living space was great.  My only niggle though was the impractical white sofa bed. We were the first family that had stayed there and we were told the owner was worried about the couch getting dirty and he also wanted to check whether my daughter would wet the sofa bed mattress!  Obviously this made me paranoid and luckily the property manager brought over a self inflating air mattress which we used instead.  I think if you're renting a place out you definitely shouldn't have furniture in there that you are worried about!

The bathroom was spacious and the walls were lined with beautiful pale grey / blue tiles. As with many European bathrooms there was a shower over the bath and unfortunately this leaked everywhere.  Not so great when you have to use all the bath towels provided to mop up the leak!  We are told a shower box is being installed this week.

AD has mentioned wine glasses in one of her bach essential posts.  It really surprised me in this apartment that there were no wine glasses so we resorted to drinking wine out of tumblers.  Fine for the beach (maybe?) but for a city break I think wine glasses would be nice.

All in all though it was a great apartment in an excellent location and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Milan.
