L'ISOLA DI ROMY, Milan

The property sits in a lively, up-and-coming area with numerous bars, restaurants, and a 24-hour supermarket within a five-minute walk. Public transport is excellent: Zara metro station (line M3) is 700 metres away, and tram stops are 300 metres from the door, giving quick access to Centrale station, Garibaldi station, and the Duomo. Bosco Verticale is a 12-minute walk, and Milan Linate Airport is 11 km away. The neighbourhood can be noisy at night due to local nightlife, but offers a safe and convenient base for exploring Milan.

Rooms are clean and simply furnished, each with a work desk, wardrobe, flat-screen TV, and a refrigerator. Some rooms feature a private bathroom with shower, while others use one of two shared bathrooms. Soundproofing is minimal - walls are thin, and noise from flushing toilets, internal doors, and street activity is easily audible. Specific room types include double/twin en-suite rooms, family rooms (three beds), and a spacious apartment with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The terrace is a notable feature for some rooms. For light sleepers, a room away from the shared bathroom and internal doors is recommended.

The property does not serve breakfast, but the shared lounge offers a microwave, water dispenser, and a kettle (the water dispenser can also provide hot water). There is no sink or stove in the communal area - washing dishes must be done in the bathroom sink. The surrounding streets are filled with restaurants, pizzerias, and a 24-hour supermarket, making it easy to buy fresh food or eat out. Nearby Italian options include Tre Chicchere, Pizzeria Assaje, and M'Amo Ristorante, all within a five-minute walk.

Leisure options are limited to the communal lounge with seating and a flat-screen TV, and a terrace overlooking the garden. The property has no gym, pool, spa, or fitness area. The lively Isola district itself offers a park nearby, bars and nightlife, and easy access to Milan's cultural landmarks.

Self-check-in is standard, with codes provided by WhatsApp. Luggage storage is available in the common room, which is useful for late arrivals or early departures. The lift serves the building, and the reception team is responsive via WhatsApp. Housekeeping cleans the shared bathrooms and common areas each morning.
