It's important to mention that this isn't a hotel per se; they're more like apartments or studios. There's no reception or lobby. All coordination is handled by text messages/whatsapp/email , including check-in process and later the city tax payments, etc. The staff who checked me into the room were very friendly. The room is modern, well-appointed, and comfortable. The location is good.

First of all, it wasn’t a luxury apartment. It was very old and some of things were not working. It was very noisy at night and early morning. We could hear motorists and garbage trucks noises every day at 5:30 am. Verdi1 bedroom was on the street side. We couldn’t get sleep. I told the manager on the first day that I want another apartment but she said all are booked. I don’t recommend this place at all.

Host was very helpful. AC cool, provided us with espresso coffee and tea and water for each guest. They even give us toothbrushes and toothpaste. If you come from the Cadorna train station, it will take 10mins walk. If you come from the central station, you can take the metro to the apartment and only 2mins walk from it, which is better if you have lots of luggage to drag.

I liked the size of the flat, the level of comfort of the beds. The location was also quite good. The shower was amazing. The check in process was a bit challenging. We were sent to the wrong address and with kids and lots of luggage and stress getting hold of the property manager. Also, the kitchen could use some more pots. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay there.
