“Not As Good As It Seems”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011
5
people found this review helpful

We rented an apartment for the last leg of our trip in Italy based on the strength of the reviews here on Tripadvisor.
The location was handy - near to the Central Station.
The rooms were spacious, even if not ideally furnished.
We were however disappointed at some of the areas we experienced during our stay, namely,
1. On the day of check-in, we discovered exposed half-eaten food in the fridge. The decomposing food was NEVER cleared, and remained when we checked out.
2. In the bathroom, a large dirty draining hole with sharp jagged edges was left exposed throughout our stay; it was not only unsafe but unbelievably unhygienic.
3. Even though De La Gare is advertised as a serviced apartment, the kettle/utensils were dusty and dirty like they were not cleaned/used in a long while.
4. The aircon/ventilation unit broke down on Day 2 resulting in zero air circulation in the room.
5. Basic necessities like toilet paper was not replenished during housekeeping.
6. The walls were thin and there was no customer service to remind occupants to keep noise level low after dark; we were not light sleepers but were still kept awake through the night by occupants on the upper levels making a ruckus.

“Ideal location for F1 base”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

I booked this accommodation for a base for the Italian Grand Prix simply because it was next to the central station. However if you are going to the next grand prix be advised most trains leave from Garibaldi station not Central Station. However this is still a great base as the apartment was nicely furnished and we had all the amenities we needed. The staff were helpful and we paid for secured parking and were given a fob if we wanted to move the car during our stay.The metro station to Garibaldi is 30 seconds walk away so it is really easy to get around.

Would recommend to anyone who wants a nice, clean, affordable base for Milan and the surrounding area.

“Great choice if you're traveling in a group”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011

Stayed here with my family for 2 nights. There were three of us and we got the superior room. The accommodation was very close to the main train station (about 5-10 minutes walking distance) which makes it a convenient base for exploring milan. The residence itself is very modern--the room we stayed in was an apartment type room with a mini kitchen and everything you need to cook and eat (plates, glasses, forks, spoons etc). It was very modern and clean. We ended up saving a lot of money because we cooked our own food.

It is a little on the expensive side, but I guess that's just Milan for you. Will definitely recommend this to any group going to Milan but if you're a solo budget traveller, this might not be the place for you.

“Good Choice for Apartment-Type Rental”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

Good location if you need to be near the Centrale Station--quiet, seemed safe. I guess it's not nice in terms of it's not a beautiful area, but it's convenient. Apartments were clean, nicely furnished and good-sized.

They do provide laundry service, but I'd rather have self-service laundry facilities on-site.

Another reviewer mentioned the kitchen lacked cleaning supplies--dish soap and sponge. I asked the woman who checked us in for them and she gave them to us without any issues.

“Great accomodation at the Central Station”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

Apartement: Clean, functional, with wi-fi, bathtub, air conditioning. Stove, but no oven. Nothing at all to complain about (ap. 53 5th floor). Staff fairly English speaking. However - this is not an accomodation for you who seek hotel service. You're mainly on your own, in your own apartment. With the benefit of not having to do the cleaning. A wonderful place to stay if you want to experience Milan and surroundings on your own.

Quite quiet to be in the middle of a city. The bed a little bit hard for our taste.

Outside. A 100-200 meter walk to the Central Station, underground, airport bus. From the Station you easily reach the Alps by train (ca 1 hour to Lake Como). A few kilometers walk to the City centre with the impressive Dome.
